Women's Counselling
Why Women's Counselling?
If you feel constantly overwhelmed with the demands of daily life as a woman in Singapore, you may be dealing with anything from juggling parenting demands with career aspirations, to addressing health concerns and hormonal changes. You’re not alone.
Research from the Singapore Mental Health Study shows that women are more likely than men to experience mental health issues like depression and anxiety. In part, this is due to the competing demands on women’s time and energy, including being perceived as primary caregivers to children and parents alike. In a fast-paced urban lifestyle, taking time away from responsibilities to address emotional issues and mental health challenges can also be seen as a luxury, or a “nice to have.”
The reality is, you can’t pour from an empty cup, and you deserve to create a reality in which you thrive — not just “get by.” At New Leaf Counselling, we are devoted to providing comprehensive support for women as they navigate the diverse challenges of their everyday lives, whether they are full-time working professionals, caretakers, parents, or a mix of those roles. Our specialised Women’s Counselling services are designed to support you as you fulfil the responsibilities of being a partner, mother, daughter, professional, or friend.
What To Expect From Women's Counselling
Taking care of business, family, and general life starts with taking care of ourselves first.
New Leaf’s professional and compassionate counsellors are here to provide a supportive, confidential environment for women to explore ways to bring more balance, ease, and joy into their busy lives.
We focus on empowering women to articulate their emotions, navigate stress, and manage their energy across the multiple “hats” they wear each day.
We believe taking care of your mental health is an imperative—not a luxury—that helps you show up each day as your best self and live the life you deserve.
If you are interested in taking the first step to support yourself through Women’s Counselling, we encourage you to schedule an appointment by completing the contact form here.
