Some things you need to know before proceeding…
Before you continue, here are some things that you need to know about Tung Ling Counselling. Please read all the information provided carefully. Once you have read everything, and if you would like to speak to one of our counsellors, please click “Next” and fill in your details. Thank you!
What happens after I fill in this form?
Our counselling team will review your details. If we determine that our in-house counsellors are able to take on your case, we will reach out to you to arrange a counselling session. If we determine that we are not able to take on your case, we will still reach out to you to inform you of this, and do our best to refer you to other sources of help if appropriate.
What can I expect from my first appointment?
Your counsellor will go through the First Interview Form with you, where you will be asked some questions that will aid your counsellor to be more effective in helping you. Your counsellor will seek to understand what you are facing and set counselling goal(s) together with you. A counselling session typically lasts for one hour.
How much is your fee?
We do not collect any fees.
Can I see a counsellor if I am not a Christian or not a member of COS?
Yes. We offer counselling services to all people regardless of faith, ethnicity or status.
If I am a member of COS, will my counsellor also be a member of COS?
That depends. If this is a matter of concern for you, please let us know in the “any other comments or concerns” section of the form and we can work something out together.
Are your counsellors trained?
Our counsellors have either completed or are on their way to complete post-graduate counselling degrees.
What days do you see cases and where are the sessions held?
Counselling sessions can be held in-person at Church of Singapore premises (145 Marine Parade Road) or online via Zoom. You may indicate your preference in the registration form. We will try our best to match your day/time availability to our counsellors’ availability.
What should I do if I cannot make it for my appointment?
As our counsellors are mostly volunteers who are only available at specific times, we strongly encourage you to keep to your day and time for appointments. If you really need to, you may request to reschedule the appointment at least 24 hours before the start of the appointment. (E.g. if your session is scheduled for 1pm on Tuesday, you must request to reschedule by Monday 1pm at the latest)
What happens if I am late or don’t show up for my appointment?
If you are late by more than 15 minutes, the counselling session will be cancelled. If you miss three consecutive counselling appointments, your case may be deemed closed.
How many counselling sessions will I need?
In most cases, it will take time for you to process what you are going through. We recommend that you commit yourself to at least 4-6 sessions of counselling. Your counsellor will evaluate your progress together with you through the sessions. Do not expect a quick fix as healing takes time.
Will my information be shared with others?
All information that the client shares will be kept confidential. This includes client’s personal data, any information shared in counselling sessions, and even the fact that the client is seeking counselling with TLC. Client’s information can only be released with their consent and written permission, except in the following cases: (1) The counsellor determines that there is a clear and imminent danger to the client or someone else, including suicide (2)The counsellor determines that a criminal offence has been or is about to be perpetrated. (3) When the organisation is legally required to release the information by government authorities.
Can I receive counselling if I am 18-years-old or younger?
Yes, with consent from your parent or legal guardian. We will contact you to request for your parent or guardian’s contact information. We will then contact them directly to arrange for this consent.
