Counseling Perspective

Youth Counselling and Support in Singapore

A space for teenagers and young adults to be heard on their own terms, as they work through pressure, identity, relationships and the changes that come with growing up.

Starting from $150 / 60-min session

Counselling for young people

Adolescence and early adulthood bring a great deal at once: academic pressure, friendships and first relationships, questions of identity and belonging, family expectations, and a digital life that rarely switches off. Counselling offers a confidential space where a young person can put all of that into words, without being judged or managed.

Our counsellors work at the pace of the person in front of them. Some young people arrive with something specific, such as anxiety, low mood or a difficult experience. Others simply feel stuck, flat, or unlike themselves. Both are good reasons to come.

What we can help with

  • Anxiety, stress and low mood
  • Self-esteem, identity and belonging
  • Academic and performance pressure
  • Friendships, relationships and social difficulties
  • Family conflict and communication at home
  • Adjusting to change, including moving country or school

Working with parents

Where it helps, and always with the young person’s knowledge, we can involve parents in a way that supports rather than intrudes. Some families choose parallel work: individual sessions for the young person, and separate sessions to help parents respond well at home.

Sessions are available in person at our Singapore locations or online.

Portrait of Varian Monteiro

Varian Monteiro

Counselling Therapist

Having an ongoing interest in the intertwined workings of the mind and body, Varian is decidedly enthusiastic about counselling and all things psychology-related. Adopting a client-centred humanistic approach as the driving form of his counselling style, he has been assisting clients in managing their behaviours in one-to-one and group sessions since 2013. He began his counselling journey by being introduced to behavioural compulsions and impulse control difficulties, which also happen to be his areas of speciality. He has facilitated all-male support groups for compulsive sexual behaviour disorder, and behaviour modification for problematic sexual behaviour, in both private and governmental settings. In these two environments, Varian worked with clients on their psychoeducation and to unlearn the shame and guilt surrounding compulsion. While he provides multiple tools to guide clients onto their paths of recovery, he draws upon several other techniques that are beneficial to his clients; focusing strongly on emotions while involving some cognitive behavioural, dialectical behavioural, and somatic approaches.
