FAQs About Chemistry Sessions

Therapy for me is like a long-term partnership, which makes Chemistry Sessions similar to a first date. During this 50-minute session, we’re both reflecting on whether we’re aligned in how we approach therapy.

Chemistry Sessions are not blind dates. By the time we meet, I hope you have a sense of my process and what I stand for. If you’re unsure, please read my FAQs and blog.

Our time in this world is limited, and how we use it profoundly shapes how we live. How we choose to spend our time is an intentional act and making a decision on the therapist for you on your journey is part of that.

Imagine the Chemistry Session was like a first date.

On this date, both parties have shown up for a call to explore if making a longer commitment made sense for their needs.

You’ve made it past brief introductions and are barely just starting to get a sense of the other party when an alarm rings. Your 15 minutes are up.

What insights would you really have gotten? Did the call help either of you be more sure of taking the next steps together?

Returning to therapy-speak, I’ve tested offering free 15-minute discovery calls. Like the imaginary date scenario, there really wasn’t enough time for conversations that would enable both of us to truly explore whether we’re the right fit for each other.

If we somehow decide to continue working together, what would anchor our choices, really?

That’s why I offer:

  • For individuals: 50-minute Chemistry Session at SGD 220
  • For couples / families: 75-minute Chemistry Session at SGD 330

It reflects a recognition that your time, like mine, has value. So if you, like me, are committed to showing up, let’s begin our work together.

I’ve intentionally designed the Chemistry Sessions to help you gain insights on whether I would be the therapist for you.

Each 50-minute* Chemistry Session will be a safe space for you to:

  • Clarify your needs and hopes
  • Understand my approach and Existential Therapy
  • Learn an overview of the therapy experience
  • Ask any questions you may have
  • Assess if my style suits your needs (a vibe check, if you will)

By the end of the Chemistry Session, I will:

  • Have a conversation with you about whether we’re a good fit for the work that lies ahead
  • Offer follow-up resources if we are not a match
  • Recommend next steps to start this journey together

* For marriage counseling, couples therapy or family therapy, Chemistry Sessions will be 75 minutes long.

Let’s talk about it. There could be several reasons for a mismatch – perhaps our goals don’t align, or my approach doesn’t resonate with you.

So even if we decide not to continue working together, don’t hesitate to ask for resources. Help me understand how you’re feeling.

The mismatch doesn’t reflect that something is wrong with either of us – it’s simply part of the therapeutic process.

Therapy is a relationship, and it takes both of us to create a meaningful connection.

Let’s unpack what a better match might look like so that I’ll be in a better position to refer you to someone more suitable.
