Fees
I’ve tried to make this page the opposite of every fee page that made me squint when I was the one shopping for a clinician. The numbers are here. So is the reasoning behind them.
Everything I charge is on this page, assessment fees included, so you can decide with the numbers in front of you.
Sessions with me are variable but structured, sixty to ninety minutes, depending on what the work needs that day. Pro-rated at SGD 350 per hour on weekdays before 5pm: 60 min = SGD 350 90 min = SGD 525. I also stagger thirty minutes between clients, partly so I can write notes and catch my breath, and partly so you never run into the person before or after you. The hour is the time I’ve found the work actually needs; the stagger is how I protect it.
Consultations and therapy
Free Meet & Greet: no charge. Fifteen minutes, by video. Enough time for me to hear what’s bringing you here and for both of us to get a sense of whether I’m the right fit, before either of us commits to anything. No paperwork, no pressure; most people book it first. Book a Free Meet & Greet.
First consultation: typically SGD 700. Usually two hours, on any day of the week, sometimes a little less if we’ve covered the ground. Long enough to hear the full story, not just the headline. My aim for this session is that you leave it having already learned something real about yourself. If I’m the right person for what you’re bringing in, we’ll plan from there. If I’m not, you’ll leave with a clearer sense of who is, and you’ll have got clinical value from the time either way.
Ongoing session rates, pro-rated by the hour:
| Session | 60 min | 90 min |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | SGD 350 | SGD 525 |
| Weekday evening (after 5pm) | SGD 380 | SGD 570 |
| Saturday | SGD 400 | SGD 600 |
| Sunday | SGD 450 | SGD 675 |
| Public holidays | SGD 500 | SGD 750 |
A note on timing. These rates take effect from 1 July 2026, with Sunday and public-holiday rates updated on 6 August 2026. If you’re already working with me, or we’ve met within the past year, your existing rate stands. This change is for new enquiries, and for anyone coming back after a longer time away.
Assessments
- Adult ADHD assessment, SGD 3,500. See adult ADHD assessment for what’s included. The full assessment fee is due before the first appointment.1
- Adult anxiety or OCD assessment, SGD 3,500. See anxiety and OCD assessment for what’s included. The full assessment fee is due before the first appointment.1
- Child ADHD assessment (ages 6–12), from SGD 4,500. Includes WIAT-IV achievement testing as standard. The fee can rise where the clinical complexity warrants it (additional differential, school observation, additional collateral). See child ADHD assessment for what’s included.
- Teen ADHD assessment (ages 13–17), from SGD 4,500. Includes WIAT-IV achievement testing as standard. The fee can rise where the clinical complexity warrants it (additional differential, school observation, additional collateral). See teen ADHD assessment for what’s included.
- Report turnaround: three weeks after the final testing session. If you need it faster for a specific deadline, school placement, employer accommodation, tell me at the first consultation and I’ll tell you honestly whether I can meet it.
“From” means what it says. Assessment complexity varies. Co-occurring conditions (anxiety, learning differences, mood), multi-informant data, school observation, or integrating prior reports can raise the fee. If that’s going to happen in your case, I’ll tell you what the work is, what it will cost, and why, before I do it. No surprise line items.
Parent-coaching programmes
- Parent–Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT): 14–20 sessions, standard rate per session.
- Parent–Child Emotion Therapy (PCET): 8–16 sessions, standard rate per session.
Payment and cancellation
I take PayNow or bank transfer. Payment is due before each session, not at the door, so we both arrive ready to use the hour for the work, not for logistics. I don’t bill insurers directly, but I’ll give you a clear receipt you can submit for reimbursement; your insurer will tell you what they’ll cover.
Paying by PayNow
Scan the code in your banking app, or send by UEN 202339132R. You’ll see the practice’s name come up before you confirm.
One small ask: include the reference number from your invoice, so your payment matches to you on the first try.
Paying from overseas
If you’re transferring from outside Singapore, use these details. They’re the same ones printed on your invoice.
| Beneficiary | Lightfull Psychology and Consulting Practice Pte. Ltd. |
| Bank | DBS Bank Ltd, Singapore |
| SWIFT / BIC | DBSSSGSG |
| Account number | 072-1077-604 |
| Bank code (local transfers) | 7171 |
| Bank address | 12 Marina Boulevard, Marina Bay Financial Centre Tower 3, Singapore 018982 |
| Currency | SGD |
Please send in Singapore dollars and choose the option where you cover the sending and intermediary charges (your bank may call this “OUR”), so the amount that arrives matches the invoice. If a shortfall does come through, I’ll let you know and we’ll sort it quietly; it won’t delay your session. Transfers usually land within two to four business days, so for a first session it helps to send a little early.
And the same small ask as always: put your invoice reference in the payment description so it matches to you on the first try.
Cancellations with more than 24 hours’ notice are free. Inside 24 hours, I charge the full session fee. I hold the hour for you; when it’s cancelled late, I can’t fill it.
A note on insurance. Lightfull Psychology is a private practice, not a licensed medical facility, so most insurance plans in Singapore won’t cover sessions directly. International plans with outpatient mental health benefits (for example, some expat policies) often will reimburse. If cost is a live question for you, email me before you book, we can look at what’s possible.
If cost is a real barrier. I hold a small number of reduced-fee slots each quarter for families and individuals for whom private fees are genuinely out of reach. If that’s you, say so in the intake form. No explanation required beyond that.
More questions? The FAQ covers the ones I hear most, from insurance to what a first session actually feels like.
