Supporting children’s emotional wellbeing, development, and resilience through evidence‑based, trauma‑informed psychological care.
Child Counselling
Children often express distress through behaviour, emotions, or physical symptoms rather than words. Changes such as family conflict, divorce, bullying, academic pressure, trauma, or loss can overwhelm a child’s developing nervous system and sense of safety.
Our child counselling services in Singapore provide a safe, supportive space for children to process their experiences, regulate emotions, and develop healthy coping skills. Therapy is tailored to the child’s developmental stage and may include play-based therapy, expressive techniques, attachment-focused work, and somatic regulation strategies.
Child counselling can help with:
- Child anxiety, fears, and excessive worry
- Emotional dysregulation, anger, or frequent meltdowns
- Behavioural difficulties at home or school
- Low self-esteem or social withdrawal
- Adjustment to separation, divorce, or blended families
- School refusal or academic stress
- Bullying and peer relationship difficulties
- Child trauma, grief, or loss
Where appropriate, parents are involved to support the child’s progress and to strengthen emotional safety, boundaries, and attuned parenting at home.
Child Psychological Assessments
Our child psychological assessment services in Singapore provide a comprehensive understanding of a child’s cognitive, emotional, behavioural, and developmental functioning. Assessments are conducted with care, sensitivity, and clinical rigour, with the aim of clarifying concerns and guiding effective intervention.
All child assessments include:
- A detailed clinical interview with parents or caregivers
- Developmental, educational, and psychosocial history
- Standardised psychological assessment tools (as appropriate)
- Behavioural observations
- A comprehensive written report with findings, diagnoses (if applicable), and practical recommendations
ADHD assessments evaluate attention, impulsivity, hyperactivity, and executive functioning across settings.
This assessment is suitable for children who may be experiencing:
- Inattention, distractibility, or poor concentration
- Hyperactivity or restlessness
- Impulsivity or difficulty with self‑control
- Academic underachievement despite adequate ability
- Difficulties with organisation, planning, or emotional regulation
The assessment integrates clinical interviews, standardised rating scales (parent and teacher), and behavioural observations to determine whether diagnostic criteria for ADHD are met, and to rule out other contributing factors such as anxiety, trauma, or learning difficulties.
This assessment focuses on a child’s emotional wellbeing and psychological functioning.
It may assess for:
- Anxiety disorders
- Depressive symptoms
- Emotional dysregulation
- Stress‑related difficulties
- Adjustment reactions to life transitions
The goal is to understand the child’s internal emotional world, identify risk and protective factors, and provide recommendations for therapy, school support, or further intervention.
Child trauma assessments evaluate the impact of adverse or overwhelming experiences on a child’s emotional, behavioural, and nervous system functioning.
This may include exposure to:
- Family violence or high‑conflict parental relationships
- Abuse or neglect
- Sudden loss or bereavement
- Medical trauma or accidents
- Chronic stress or repeated relational disruptions
The assessment is conducted using a trauma‑informed, child‑centred approach, with careful attention to emotional safety. Findings help guide trauma‑focused treatment planning and support recommendations for caregivers and schools.
Learning disability assessments examine a child’s cognitive abilities and academic skills to identify specific learning difficulties.
This assessment may be helpful when a child experiences:
- Ongoing academic struggles despite effort
- Difficulties with reading, writing, or mathematics
- Slow learning or uneven academic progress
- Concerns raised by teachers regarding learning needs
The assessment provides clarity on the child’s learning profile and includes recommendations for educational support, accommodations, and intervention strategies.
