Individual counselling in Singapore at Lexi Mind is one-to-one time with Dr. Lexi Yang. You come on your own. The session can be in English, Mandarin, or both. This page describes that format: what it covers, who it suits, how a meeting works, and what it costs to book. The map of every service is on the counselling in Singapore page. If you and a partner want to attend together, read couples therapy and marriage counselling in Singapore.
What individual counselling covers
The hour starts from what you bring. That may be anxiety, low mood, stress, a sleep concern, or an eating concern. It may be self-worth, a boundary, identity, career uncertainty, or pressure at work. It may be a life transition you have not had room to think about. Dr. Lexi has written that she often works with people experiencing depression or anxiety, looking at life circumstances and at difficulties that arise in family, work, and other relationships, and that she has extensive experience with sleep disorders and eating disorders.
The practice also lists self-worth and self-actualisation, emotional regulation (including anger, depression, and anxiety), workplace stress and career guidance, and LGBTQIA+ and gender identity among its areas of focus. The homepage service card for mental health names depression, anxiety, OCD, and other psychological conditions, and describes the work as exploring what sits under the symptoms and noticing inner resources. Worry, panic, overthinking, and mind-body tension are set out on the anxiety counselling page. Low mood, emotional numbness, loss of motivation, and self-worth are set out on the depression counselling page. Those pages follow the concern. This page follows the one-to-one format.
You do not need a diagnosis to book. A column on this site says counselling is not only about treating symptoms. Many people come because they are curious about themselves, or because they feel stuck in a career choice, an intimate relationship, or a personal boundary. The full note is who counselling is for.
Who it suits
Individual counselling suits adults and working adults who want a private conversation about emotion, a relationship pattern, or a decision. That includes people living with stress or burnout, and people in the middle of a change. Sessions are open to clients who prefer English, Mandarin, or a mix of the two in the same meeting.
Dr. Lexi Yang is the counsellor at Lexi Mind. She has 18 years of psychology-related study, research, and helping experience. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and a PhD in Psychology from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, and a CAE Diploma in Counselling. Further training listed on the site includes art therapy workshop training, Gestalt therapy workshops, Satir therapy workshops, and latency-phase child psychodynamic development training. She has also worked with Singapore’s Ministry of Social and Family Development, on research and policy evaluation for the Supervised Exchange and Supervised Visitation programme across Family Service Centres.
The approach is humanistic and existentially informed. Each client stays at the centre. Where it helps, the work draws on CBT-informed tools, Gestalt reflection, systemic family concepts, non-verbal exploration, and mind-body awareness. The practice describes a space where you can speak freely and be heard with patience, and without judgement. Mind and body are treated as connected. More on the counsellor is on the about page.
Counselling at Lexi Mind is psychological counselling. It is not medical diagnosis, psychiatric treatment, or a prescription service, and it does not replace a doctor or a psychiatrist. If another level of care would serve you better, the practice may recommend medical, psychiatric, emergency, or specialist support.
Young people whose main questions are study pressure, identity, or parent-child communication can read adolescent counselling in Singapore. Parents and families working on communication and family stress can read parenting and family counselling. Partners who want to be in the room together can read the couples page linked above.
What happens in a session
A first session begins with your current concerns, the context around them, and the goals you want to work toward. You do not have to arrive with a finished account of your life.
From there, the meeting may include reflective conversation and emotional awareness. It may look at relationship patterns as they show up for you, even though you are attending alone. It may use CBT-informed tools, Gestalt-informed reflection, a systemic family perspective, or mind-body awareness. Non-verbal exploration sits alongside talking, as the practice describes it. The mix depends on what is useful for you. The practice keeps the client at the centre and draws on more than one way of working.
Before the first session you sign an informed consent form. The form is on the site as a counselling consent form. What you discuss is confidential. Personal information and session content are protected, and are not shared without your explicit consent, except where the law or a safety obligation requires it. Those exceptions are described in the privacy policy.
How many meetings you have follows the goals you set with your counsellor. If you later need a written plan, a clinical summary, an assessment report, or a professional note to a third party, the terms of service ask you to request it at least five working days in advance.
Online sessions and the Midview City room
Individual counselling is available online and in person. In-person sessions are at 18 Sin Ming Lane, #08-34 MidView City, Singapore 573960, near Bright Hill MRT. The published opening hours are Monday to Friday, 10:00 to 19:00. Directions are on the location page.
Online sessions are by video, for clients in Singapore and overseas, when online work is suitable and within professional boundaries. Please join from a private, quiet place with a stable internet connection. A session is not recorded unless you and your counsellor both agree. If support closer to where you live would serve you better, the counsellor may suggest local resources. More on the format is on the online counselling page, and on language choice on the Mandarin counselling page.
