Counsilio vs The Lighthouse Counselling in Singapore

Compare the appointment you would actually attend: the fee, the format, how the match happens and when your request becomes a confirmed session.

Published by Counsilio · Published 26 Oct 2026 · AI-assisted research and drafting

Counsilio publishes this comparison and is one of the providers included. The Lighthouse Counselling’s information comes from its official pages and linked fee schedule, checked on 26 October 2026. This guide covers individual support for adults in Singapore. It compares practical arrangements, without a clinical-quality ranking or a claim that we used either service.

Compare the specific offer

A starting price for long-term support does not establish a one-off rate, a package total or a saving on the same purchase. Counsilio makes the proposed support and practical arrangement clear before you decide. This comparison uses Lighthouse’s displayed individual appointment rates; package purchases are a separate decision.

Lighthouse’s fee depends on the appointment you choose

The Lighthouse booking list shows different prices for different therapists and formats. For example, Beverly’s published individual appointment is S$180 online and S$200 in person, both for 50 minutes. Belinda’s listed individual appointments are S$300 for 50 minutes in either format. The provider’s linked fee schedule, labelled 2025, agrees with those single-session figures when checked for this guide.

That gives you a more useful comparison than a single clinic-wide “from” price. If you are interested in a particular practitioner, use that appointment’s rate and format. If your main uncertainty is whom to see, personal help with matching may matter more than browsing individual options.

How do you want to find the person you will speak with?

Counsilio is a technology platform with personal onboarding. We listen to what has been difficult and what you need, take responsibility for counsellor quality and matching, and explain the proposed arrangement. You can start without choosing from profiles. If the match does not work for you, we listen and help you explore a change.

Lighthouse publishes therapist profiles alongside its booking options. For example, Beverly Foo’s profile lists a Master of Counselling from Monash University and provisional clinical membership of the Singapore Association for Counselling. This is the practice’s published credential description, rather than an independent credential audit. It does not establish that one practitioner is right for every reader.

You can have a preference without knowing every counselling approach. “I’d like help talking about family expectations, and I’m more comfortable with a woman counsellor” is an example of a useful starting point. Counsilio’s confirmed offer includes female therapists; the proposed person and appointment still need to be arranged. Our guide to finding a suitable counsellor explains how to begin that conversation.

Picture an ordinary appointment day

Here is a planning example. You finish work at six and share a home. Online support saves a journey, but you still need somewhere you can talk without being overheard. An in-person appointment may be easier if that space is hard to find. Lighthouse offers both formats; this Counsilio offer is for online individual sessions. The online versus in-person guide helps you weigh the setting.

Counsilio has after-work slots, with a specific time arranged separately. Beverly’s online appointment page lists weekday hours to 7pm and Saturday mornings. Published hours describe a schedule, rather than a currently available appointment. If your week changes often, the appointment-change rules below also matter.

For the first conversation, Lighthouse’s FAQ describes an evaluation pack before the first session, followed by an initial assessment and discussion of goals. Those are Lighthouse’s described steps. Our first-session guide gives general expectations; it does not turn another provider’s process into a Counsilio procedure.

A request, confirmation and payment are separate steps

Lighthouse’s appointment policy says bookings are confirmed by its reply. Its FAQ then requires advance payment within two business days of email confirmation to secure the booking. A time requested on a website is therefore different from a secured appointment.

Its FAQ requires at least 48 hours’ notice for cancellation or rescheduling; shorter notice attracts the session charge. Counsilio’s owner-confirmed cancellation cutoff is 12 hours before a session. These are notice rules, rather than a comparison of refund entitlements or package contracts.

At Counsilio, opening the homepage’s WhatsApp route begins an enquiry. Personal onboarding, the proposed match and appointment arrangements follow separately. The care team makes those arrangements clear before you decide to proceed.

Choose the next step that resolves your question

If you want personal help finding online support, you can begin with Counsilio’s homepage. A suggested opening is: “I’m in Singapore and looking for individual counselling. I’d like help with a suitable match, a workable budget and evening timing.” You can keep it brief; you do not need to send records or a full personal history to make that first enquiry.

If you want to explore a named Lighthouse practitioner or an in-person option, its official booking list brings the relevant appointments together. For a broader comparison, see online counselling services in Singapore. This guide does not compare couples appointments, psychological testing or medical care.

Routine enquiries are not an emergency response. Public crisis and immediate-support information remains available without contacting Counsilio.
