Children Counselling (2.5 - 11 years old)
Childhood, being the foundation stage of our lives, is where the roots of most of our eventual ways of living, thinking and relating with ourselves and our world lie. Children as young as 2.5 years old may have social, emotional, behavioural or developmental challenges which impact their development and childhood experiences. These difficulties can arise from a variety of underlying causes, ranging from environmental factors to biological or family-related issues.
Recognizing these challenges early is the first step toward building resilience and fostering healthy growth. With professional mental health counselling in Singapore, you don’t have to navigate this path alone. Our team provides a compassionate, structured environment to help both your child and your family thrive.
Early intervention
We at Lyra Singapore believe in ‘Early Intervention’. Intervention at this stage allows an opportunity for issues to be addressed before deeper and long-lasting damage is done. This philosophy is supported by our team of highly experienced clinical as well as educational psychologists and counsellors who are dedicated to working with children.
We use a collaborative approach and involve the parents, school and other relevant people involved in the child’s upbringing, for effective therapeutic healing. Where necessary, we also administer psychometric assessments to help identify core issues so that individualised intervention and learning plans can be developed.
If required, we make referrals and work closely with other service providers such as psychiatrists, speech/language and occupational therapists.
Young children often do not have the skills to understand and process their emotions. Because language is also still developing, it can be hard for them to verbalise or put into words how they feel. Our team is skilled in using various Expressive Therapies (Sand, Play, Art, Movement) which engage the child at pre-cognitive levels and help overcome the barrier of language to connect with them. All therapy sessions are conducted in a child friendly environment and with tools that enable children to work through their challenges.
Some of the issues we help address are:
- Stress
- Anxiety and Depression
- Confidence and Low Self Esteem
- Addiction
- Interpersonal and Social Issues
- Body Image Issues
- Tantrums and Aggression
- Difficulty in Adjusting to a New Culture and Environment
- Academic Challenges
- Culture
- Autism Spectrum Disorder
- ADHD
- Dyslexia
- Aspergers
- Other Learning Disorders
- Genetic Disorders
Adolescents / Teenagers Counselling (12-18 years)
Adolescence can be a challenging time for young people as it marks significant transitions in school, physical and emotional development, and the formation of deeper peer relationships.
It may also be a thrilling stage where self-exploration emerges, creativity and independent thinking grow, personal values and ideas are challenged and evaluated. Working therapeutically with this group helps them to gain increasing levels of independence and allows them to have a safe and supportive space. Through this, they can learn strategies and skills to make healthy lifestyle choices and to enhance a young person’s self-worth, helping them develop meaningful life objectives. Parents are also encouraged to participate in the therapeutic process whenever feasible.
Some of the common issues that we help address are:
- Anxiety and Stress
- Depression and Unhappiness
- Bullying
- Confidence and Low Self Esteem
- Body Image and Eating Disorders
- Motivation and Academic Challenges
- Anger Management
- Addictions
- Sex Related Issues
- Communication
- Difficulty in Adjusting to a New Culture and Environment

Psychometric/Diagnostic Assessments
Do you feel that your child is not reaching their full potential at school? Do they struggle with learning, attention or processing information in a way that you can’t quite pinpoint? If this is the case, you may want to consider a psychometric assessment for your child.
Psychometric assessments are used to identify core issues and the underlying reasons for why these issues are occurring. They also provide valuable insights into a child’s strengths and weaknesses. We use this information to help parents and teachers understand how to best support the child with their learning and development. It is important that issues are identified early so that interventions can be put in place to prevent children from falling behind in their learning.
Psychometric assessment can also be useful for adults undertaking further study, to provide information to their university or college about particular learning difficulties that may impact on their studies. This ensures they receive appropriate support and accommodations so that they can make the best of their further education.
Assessment areas that can be examined include:
- Learning: Specific Learning Disorders (similar to Dyslexia, Dyscalculia), difficulties with reading, writing and maths, IQ, Gifted & Talented
- Attention: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), selective and sustained attention
- Other areas of Cognition: working memory, processing speed, visual perception and executive function
- Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD): social communication and interaction, repetitive and restricted interests and behaviours
At Lyra Singapore all assessments are administered by highly qualified, experienced and accredited psychologists. We use a range of standardised psychometric tools including the WPPSI-IV, WISC-V, WAIS-IV, WIAT-IV, Tea-Ch 2, Conners CPT-3, BRIEF-2, ADOS-2 & ADI-R.
All assessments start with an initial parent-only interview in order to obtain a comprehensive history. Parents are generally asked to bring copies of school reports and other assessment reports. With consent, teachers are often contacted directly to obtain further information and to complete screener questionnaires. At times a school observation may be indicated. Based on this information, an individualised assessment program is formulated.
Psychometric testing with the child then takes place over 1-2 sessions depending on the area of assessment and the functioning of the child. Results are scored and interpreted in a written psychometric report, which includes recommendations for support strategies in school and home settings.
A separate feedback session is then organised to discuss the results. This session often involves parents alone, but can sometimes include older children and adolescents. If requested, a further feedback session and follow up review meetings can also be arranged with the child’s school.
