Clinical & Health Psychology Centre

Intern Services are sessions conducted by graduate clinical psychology students under close clinical supervision from our experienced teaching faculty.

Professional Services are sessions conducted by our experienced teaching faculty for the NUS Clinical Psychology Masters programme. Every member of our teaching faculty are certified Clinical Psychologists and are registered with the Singapore Register of Psychologists (SRP).

As CHPC is primarily a teaching clinic, most services are administered by interns who are actively supervised by our experienced clinical psychologist faculty to attain their certification. Thus the lower rates compared to hospitals and private practices to account for this.

In addition, we offer Professional Services conducted by our certified clinical psychologist team. Thus, the fees for this service are comparable to hospital and private clinic rates to reflect this difference.

CHPC is a training clinic for post-graduate students with a placement cycle that runs from Jan-Jun and Jul-Dec. To prepare for the next placement, we will not see any new clients in May and Nov.

As such, CHPC interns can only see clients during specific times

Due to our long waiting list, we advise prospective clients to arrange their registration at least 9–12 months before report submission deadlines. (SPED school admissions, SEAB or tertiary institutions exam accommodations, etc.)

As a training clinic, we have fixed placement cycle that runs from Jan-Jun and Jul-Dec where we match cases to interns. We may also refer cases out to other providers who are better equipped to address the client's needs.

Therapy starts with an intake session (usually 1.5 hours or more) to understand their client's concerns, followed by weekly 1 hour sessions.

The number of hours and sessions required for therapy are decided on a case-by-case basis and will be advised by the assigned intern after the first intake session is completed.

If an increased frequency of sessions is necessary, the intern will advise their clients during their session.

Therapy sessions will typically continue until the assigned intern's placement cycle at CHPC has ended.

An assessment will start with an intake session which is usually 1.5 hours or more for the assigned intern to gather more information on your concerns. After the intake is completed, the intern will advise clients on the number of hours and sessions required to complete the assessment.

Assessment reports will be ready 6–8 weeks after the last assessment session. Clients will have a final feedback session with the intern to go through the report and to answer any queries that they may have.
