Holding down a demanding job or leadership role isn’t easy. The focus required to create value and implement your vision can be disrupted by a personal crisis, relationship issues, mood disorders, addiction or patterns of behaviour from the past that still colour your reactions in the present.

At ExecutiveCounselling.com, we offer private online counselling and coaching from Singapore for professionals at all stages of their careers.

Think of us as part of your support team. Your therapist or coach will be a trusted confidant and sounding board as you navigate personal issues, make important decisions, take on new challenges and evolve into the authentic leader you want to be.

What is the difference between executive counselling and executive coaching?

Executive coaching focuses on specific goals you would like to accomplish or a problem you need to resolve. Each session is usually structured around a specific issue and you walk away with an action plan in hand.

Executive counselling comes into play when deeper emotional or psychological issues prevent you from accomplishing your coaching goals. Childhood trauma, persistent anxiety, perfectionism, an unhappy relationship, depression, feeling lonely or addiction are a few examples. Many of our clients are referred to us by executive coaches who have identified the need for an extra layer of support for a professional in crisis.

Both executive coaching and executive counselling are valuable resources for people who want to cultivate a sense of inner peace and direction while still flourishing on their career journey.

Are online counselling and coaching sessions as effective as in-person meetings?

Yes! Contemporary studies have found that private counselling online can be just as effective as traditional in-person counselling. In fact, talking from the security of your home or office might be a more comfortable place for you to open up about your concerns.

A 2018 study found that online counselling was effective for a wide range of mental health issues, including generalised anxiety disorder, depression, panic disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder (Andrews et al., 2018).

A 2022 study also showed similar results: during the COVID-19 pandemic, online counselling intervention was almost as effective as face-to-face counselling intervention (Ieradi et al., 2022).

ExecutiveCounselling.com offers online therapy from Singapore. However, you can reach out to us even if you are based overseas.

Will my privacy be protected?

Confidentiality and data security are two of our top priorities. Some measures we have taken to protect your privacy include:

  • You do not have to give your full name or identification details. You can simply use your first name or even an alias when booking a private counselling appointment.
  • Our files are securely stored on Plato, a Singapore-based, PDPA compliant provider of clinical software used by some of the top medical and mental health providers across Southeast Asia.
  • Your credit card information is stored securely by Plato and neither the name or number is visible to your counsellor or coach.
  • Our clinicians adhere to the Singapore Association for Counselling’s Code of Ethics and Practice which requires a commitment to the confidentiality of clients’ information and privacy.
