When you want a real person

Teman’s counsellor panel takes referrals when you’d rather speak with a human — or when your situation calls for one. Panel members are qualified, registered counsellors, benchmarked to a Master of Arts in Counselling & Guidance standard with supervised practice hours. Sessions are billed at the counsellor’s own fee — Teman collects it on their behalf and passes it on.

How referral works

  • Teman helps you choose a counsellor by focus area, language and availability
  • You book directly — same-week appointments where available
  • You pay the counsellor’s standard fee — private counselling in Singapore typically runs S$130–400 per session (median around S$200), and panel fees here range from S$240 to S$380 by seniority. Teman bills that fee on the counsellor’s behalf
  • Your AI session summaries can be shared with them — only if you choose
  • If cost is the barrier, tell us — the panel and our partners are working on subsidised slots

For counsellors

Join the panel

We’re building the founding panel now — qualified, registered counsellors with frontline experience who want to shape how AI supports (and never replaces) human care. Panel members supervise the service, audit its quality, and set their own session fee.

Supervision and audit work is paid professional work, contracted and scheduled.
