Online therapy crosses distance barriers, making it easier for individuals to take the first step towards improving their mental health. Additionally, the comfort of attending sessions from home can alleviate apprehension and encourage consistent engagement, ultimately leading to achieving therapy goals.

  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT): Identify and modify negative thought patterns and behaviours contributing to an individual’s challenges.
  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): Develop psychological flexibility and cultivate a mindful approach to managing difficult emotions and experiences.
  • Psychodynamic Therapy: Explore past experiences and unconscious processes that may be influencing perceived challenges.
  • Humanistic Therapy: Emphasise personal growth, self-acceptance and the development of a person’s full potential.

2. Couple

Ms. Fontana’s online couples therapy sessions in Singapore focus on strengthening communication, rebuilding trust, and fostering a deeper connection. Moreover, she uses the following evidence-based approaches:

  • Gottman Method Couples Therapy: This research-based approach equips you with practical strategies to enhance understanding, manage conflict constructively and deepen intimacy. Additionally, we’ll guide you in building “love maps,” expressing fondness and admiration, and turning towards each other in times of need.

FAQs About Online Therapy Services in Singapore 

1. Is online counselling available for families and couples?

Yes, online counselling is available for both families and couples. This can be especially convenient for those who may find it challenging to attend in-person sessions due to scheduling, distance, or other constraints. Additionally, online therapy sessions allow participants to connect with trained professionals from the comfort of their homes or other private spaces.

2. What happens in the first online therapy or counselling session?

In the first online therapy session, the therapist establishes rapport similar to in-person sessions. This initial meeting focuses on intake, discussing goals, and setting expectations. Clients also receive a therapy agreement, receive homework between sessions and plan for subsequent sessions.

3. Can online therapy services provide the same results as in-person sessions?

Yes, research shows that online therapy sessions can offer the same results as face-to-face sessions, especially for conditions such as anxiety and depression. Moreover, for those who might be hesitant to attend in-office therapy due to stigma, distance, or other barriers, online therapy provides a confidential and comfortable alternative.

4. Can I attend both online and in-office therapy sessions?

Yes, you can do that as well. But do note that appointments with the online counsellor need to be pre-arranged. For more information on our in-office and online therapy services and counselling, feel free to contact us.

5. What is the difference between in-office and online therapy services?

Essentially, there is no difference in the therapeutic approach. Both online and in-person sessions aim to build a strong therapeutic relationship and address your concerns. However, the key difference lies in the delivery method. Online therapy offers convenience and flexibility, while in-person therapy provides a dedicated space away from daily distractions. Ultimately, the ideal choice depends on your individual preferences and needs.

6. What should I expect from the online counselling process?

An online counselling session mirrors the in-office experience. Your therapist will actively listen, ask questions, and encourage you to share your thoughts, feelings, and experiences.

To make the most of your online sessions, we also encourage you to:

  • Prepare and Set GoalsTake some time beforehand to consider the topics you’d like to discuss and what you hope to achieve.
  • Be Well-Rested and On TimeWith enough rest, you can engage and focus fully in the session.
  • Avoid Alcohol Before Your Session: Staying clear of alcohol prior to your session ensures you’re in the right state of mind to engage and reflect.
  • Take Time to Reflect: Allow for 10 minutes or more after the session to process and write down your takeaways and any insights you’ve had.
  • Create a Private Space: Ensure a quiet and distraction-free environment with a stable internet connection for your online sessions.

Online therapy sessions can help address a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, stress, anger and low self-esteem. Whether you’re facing everyday challenges or more complex issues, Ms. Fontana’s online counselling provides professional guidance and support to help you manage these challenges and improve your overall well-being.
