Difference Between In-Office & Online Therapy Services
To put things simply, there is no difference.
Our online therapy services establish a relationship that is developed the same way as it would in an office setting. Technology today affords people the ability to have high-quality interactions. The interactions and interventions are the same. One advantage is that there are fewer disruptions during online therapy sessions, as there is more flexibility when scheduling sessions. The working relationship is the same whether in office or over video call. You will be able to attend an online counselling session in Singapore or anywhere else in the world.
As with all therapy, our first session will be an intake and goal-setting session. We discuss your goals and desired outcomes. We discuss what is required from you. You’ll receive a therapy agreement and then we’ll schedule the next session. You’ll be encouraged to write down what you have learned and plan for your next appointment. Similar to in-office therapy, there will be homework to accomplish between sessions. If you get a package, you’ll also get access to our portal for support and education in between sessions.
Benefits of Online Therapy Services
Online counselling in Singapore has rapidly gained traction, as it seamlessly combines the advancements of technology with the personal touch of professional counselling.
Studies suggest that online therapy is impactful for treating anxiety disorders and depression. Likewise, a 2018 Journal of Anxiety Disorders report found that online cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) matches the effectiveness of in-person sessions for conditions like major depression, panic disorder and anxiety disorders.

Feedback from Clients
“I am based in Singapore and started out doing in-office therapy sessions. My therapist, Tammy, was going to be travelling and I wanted to keep my appointments. She suggested that I try a video session. I tried it and found that it was great. I didn’t notice any difference in the quality of the interaction or therapy. After the therapy got going, I didn’t even think about the fact that it was online. In fact, I liked it so much that I am doing more of my therapy online because I save the time it takes to commute to the therapy office.” Client of 24+ months
“I have been a long-term client doing in-office sessions. I was resistant to the idea of doing online sessions, I like meeting Tammy in person. However, I was having a crisis and I really needed to meet her and the only way I could get a session in was outside office hours. Tammy suggested trying a video session. I reluctantly agreed to try one. I found it positive. At first, it felt a bit weird to be online talking to her, but then, everything was the same as in the office. In fact, I forgot that I was online. I will probably do a mix of online and in-office therapy.” Client of 36 months +
“I don’t live in Singapore but found All in the Family Counselling Centre through googling. I live in SE Asia and wanted to meet a therapist but couldn’t find any that I could connect with within my area. I have been doing all my therapy online since the first session. I have found it very helpful. I don’t really think about the fact that it’s online. For me, it’s just therapy. There isn’t anything negative about doing it online. Having never done therapy in the office, I don’t have a comparison, but I feel that I have a very good working relationship with Tammy and I feel that she understands me. I think it’s more about the therapist than the technology. If you have a good therapist, being online or in an office setting won’t matter, at least that’s my opinion.” Online client of 13 months
