Counsilio vs Talk Your Heart Out in Singapore
Compare the price, the setting and the help you want with getting started.
Counsilio may suit you if you want personal help finding a therapist for online counselling. Its long-term sessions start at S$80 for 50–60 minutes. Talk Your Heart Out (TYHO) may suit you if you want to browse therapist profiles and book online or in person. TYHO publishes a starting online fee of S$130.80, including GST, for an hour. It also offers help with choosing a therapist. The practical differences below can help you decide where to begin.
Publisher disclosure: Counsilio publishes this comparison and is one of the providers included. We checked TYHO’s official website and Counsilio’s owner-confirmed service information on 13 October 2026. This is a comparison of published arrangements, not a review based on attending sessions or a ranking of clinical quality.
You might already have two tabs open: one showing a therapist’s profile, the other a starting price. Neither tells the whole story. A useful choice also needs to fit the way you want to start, the time you can protect and the setting where you can speak comfortably.

The comparison covers adult individual support because that is the decision being discussed here. It does not establish either provider’s suitability for a particular condition, a child, a couple or a medical assessment.
Compare the commitment as well as the starting fee
Counsilio’s S$80 starting offer is for long-term sessions. The owner-confirmed information does not specify a minimum number of sessions, a package size or an introductory-session price. During onboarding, we explain the proposed cost and practical arrangement before you decide whether to proceed. Read the session-or-plan guide if commitment is your main concern.
TYHO’s published pricing distinguishes base fees, in-person charges and package discounts. Use the displayed total for the therapist, service and format you select. A starting rate is not the price of every appointment.
For example, a S$300 monthly budget is different from a S$100 limit for each appointment. Tell the provider which you mean. Frequency, duration and any required commitment determine whether an arrangement is workable; a headline price alone cannot answer that.
If affordability is the main question and you have not narrowed your choice to these two platforms, the broader Singapore fee comparison includes other providers and access conditions. The under-S$100 online guide focuses on lower-cost routes. Subsidies, insurance and employer benefits depend on the actual scheme and service; no coverage is assumed here.
Do you want help with the match, or to explore profiles first?
At Counsilio, you can begin without choosing a counsellor yourself. We listen to what you are facing and what would make support workable, then help find a suitable therapist. Counsellor quality, matching and a clear explanation of the proposal are our responsibility. If a match does not work, you can tell us and we help you switch. The guided-matching page explains this process.
TYHO’s selection guide describes filters, profiles and introduction videos. Its homepage also offers team assistance with choosing. You do not have to treat this as a choice between getting help and receiving none; the visible starting routes differ.
Imagine you want support with work pressure but are unsure who to choose. With Counsilio, you can describe that concern and your budget to the onboarding team. If you enjoy comparing profiles and want to explore named practitioners before contacting a provider, TYHO’s browsing route may fit that preference. These are examples of choosing a process, not predictions about the therapy you would receive.
Neither a platform name nor its starting price establishes the qualifications of your eventual therapist. Counsilio explains the relevant information about the proposed match; TYHO provides practitioner profiles. A request for diagnosis, medication or a specific assessment needs a separate capability check. Our guide to professional roles explains those distinctions.
If you want in-person sessions, make that part of the choice
Counsilio’s verified Singapore offer is online counselling. TYHO’s format information includes online and in-person sessions in Singapore. If meeting face to face matters to you, an in-person option deserves consideration rather than assuming a cheaper online appointment meets the same practical need.
Picture an ordinary appointment day. Can you speak without being overheard for the full session? Can you travel to an in-person appointment without rushing back into a meeting? A shared flat may make privacy the main difficulty; a long commute may make online support easier to attend. These practical considerations do not tell us which format will produce a better clinical outcome for you.
Read online versus in-person therapy for more on the setting, or finding privacy for an online session if interruptions are your main concern. Discuss continuity with your treating professional if you are considering changing ongoing care.
What if work or family plans change?
Counsilio’s owner-confirmed cancellation cutoff is 12 hours before the session. That cutoff alone does not establish a refund entitlement; we explain the terms of your proposed arrangement.
TYHO’s policy uses a minimum 24-hour window for cancellation, rescheduling or appointment changes; payments for appointments within that window are non-refundable. Consider which notice period you can realistically manage. Neither policy means an appointment can be changed at any time without a consequence.
Choose the next step that answers your main uncertainty
- If you want Counsilio to help with matching: describe your concern, budget and preferences in a care-team enquiry. We explain the proposed support so you can make an informed decision.
- If you want to explore TYHO: use its official website to review profiles, formats and current appointment information, or contact its team for help choosing.
- If you are still deciding what care you need: start with the professional-role or first-session guide. A provider comparison need not be your first decision.
If you need urgent support, use an appropriate crisis-support route rather than waiting for a routine enquiry.
