Counselling Services
Counselling is a journey where clients explore their thoughts and emotions with a mental health professional that guides them to discover ways to achieve positive changes. The process will empower clients to obtain the tools and emotional support to help them understand themselves, manage their emotions & behaviours, and improve their relationships with others. While this process is full of challenges, the outcome is rewarding, liberating, and self-fulfilling.
At The Lion Mind, we believe in working together with you as a team to complete this journey. While we are professionals for guidance, you are the expert about yourself.
All information shared in a session is kept private and confidential except where the law requires disclosure. Your session is a safe space to share and express yourself.

What are the processes in Counselling
At our centre, Counselling has four processes*
Intake
This is the first session, and it is for our clinician to know more about you, the issues you are facing, and what your needs are. You are encouraged to share any problems or concerns in the session, as that would be useful for our clinicians to assess your condition.
Assessment
In the upcoming session(s) after intake, our clinician will utilise screeners to dive deeper into the issues you are facing to uncover the possible underlying problems causing them. The screeners also allow us to assess the severity of your condition based on how you see and feel about it.
Intervention
Subsequent session(s) is for the intervention. During this phase, our clinician will work with you to formulate coping methods or strategies to manage the presented issues.
Psychoeducation
The final session(s) will focus on finding practices you can adopt to formulate a relapse prevention plan. This plan is critical for you to have a life independent from Counselling as it empowers you to tackle the challenges yourself.
* The processes stated are general guidelines. It does not reflect the number of sessions and may proceed differently based on individual progress.
How to get the most out of Counselling
BE CONSISTENT:
Scheduling and attending consistent appointments are critical to your success. Good practice makes perfect!
BE COMMITTED:
Take your time to decide if Counselling suits you, as it requires a part of your time and effort. You may face obstacles that hinder your therapeutic progress. Being committed will give you the strength to overcome these challenges.
BE WILLING TO COMMUNICATE:
Communicating personal matters can be challenging, especially when it can invoke negative emotions. Rest assured that we are here to listen. We want to hear what you say, be it your experiences, compliments, or complaints!
Counselling Sessions Needed
- Achieving a positive outcome would take about 8 to 10 weekly sessions. However, this depends on the individual and the case’s complexity. Feel free to discuss the session frequency with your clinician to find your best fit.
