Mental Health Support at Angsana Medical — Trusted Mental Health Doctor in Singapore, With In-House Counselling, Psychologist Partnerships, and Psychiatric Medication
If you are in crisis, please contact Samaritans of Singapore at 1800-221-4444 (available 24 hours).
Most people wait two years before asking for help.
Not because the problem is not real, but because they are not sure where to start. Whether to see a therapist in Singapore, a GP, a counsellor, or a psychologist, and whether any of them will actually understand.
You don't have to figure this out alone.
At Angsana Medical, your mental health care starts with Dr. Dhivian, a family physician with a Master of Medicine in Family Medicine and with clinical experience in Psychiatry. If counselling is the right next step, Lilian Ong, our registered counsellor in Singapore, is available in the same clinic. If psychotherapy is recommended, we provide referrals to our partner psychologists whom we work closely with to coordinate the best care for you. No separate referral. Your mental health care is smooth and seamless, with no waiting months for a different appointment.
Your consultation is private and in a comfortable setting. What you share stays between you and your clinical team.
Strictly Confidential
Your mental health records are treated with absolute privacy. Nothing shared without your consent.
One-Stop Care
We have an in-house counsellor available in-person or via teleconsult and psychologist partners whom we work closely to integrate care for you.
Teleconsult Available
Both first and follow-up mental health consultations available by video — from wherever you are.
Evening & Lunchtime Slots
Appointments until 8pm weekdays (Mon–Thu) — see a doctor without taking time off work.
Finding the Right Path for Depression Treatment in Singapore
If any of these sound familiar, you are in the right place.
“You Are Functioning. Just Barely.”
You are going to work, answering emails, and making plans. From the outside, everything looks fine. Inside: you cannot switch off, you are not sleeping properly, and you are running on reserves you did not know you had. You have been in this state for months. Maybe longer.
“You Do Not Know Who to See First.”
Do you need a therapist in Singapore? A counsellor? A psychiatrist? A GP? Every path seems to lead to another referral, another waiting list, and another appointment you cannot find time for during working hours. You have been putting it off because the logistics alone feel like too much.
“You Cannot Have This Conversation at Work.”
You do not want to discuss your mental health through your employer's channels. Singapore's EAP channels are not private enough. Calling a hotline does not get you the ongoing support you need. You need somewhere completely separate from your professional life, where the conversation stays between you and the doctor.
What the Right Support Looks Like
You have a regular appointment with a doctor who knows your history.
Not just your symptoms, but the context around them. If medication is part of the plan, it is clearly explained and properly monitored. If counselling is what moves things forward, Lilian is in the same clinic.
Over weeks and months, the 3am thoughts quieten. You start sleeping through more nights than not. You can be present in a conversation again.
Individual outcomes vary. Mental health support is a process, not a prescription. Dr Dhivian will outline a realistic timeline at the first consultation based on your specific situation.
What is Mental Health and Why It Matters
Mental health is not just about illness. It affects:
- How you think

Mental Health Conditions & Services at Angsana Medical, Singapore
We do not start with a prescription. We start with a proper understanding of what you are experiencing.
Depression is more than feeling sad. It affects energy, sleep, concentration, self-worth, and the ability to function day-to-day — sometimes without an obvious cause. We conduct a thorough assessment, discuss treatment options honestly, and provide structured support through medication, counselling, or both. You do not need to meet a crisis threshold to seek help.
- Mild, moderate and severe depression · Persistent depressive disorder
- Postnatal depression · Depression alongside chronic illness
Anxiety that interferes with daily life — whether generalised worry, panic attacks, social anxiety, or specific phobias — is a medical condition that responds well to treatment. We assess the nature and severity of your anxiety, and provide a structured management plan that may include therapy techniques, medication, and lifestyle strategies.
- Generalised anxiety disorder · Panic disorder · Social anxiety
- Health anxiety · Specific phobias · Mixed anxiety-depression
Obsessive-compulsive disorder causes distressing, repetitive thoughts and behaviours that feel impossible to control. It is often misunderstood and under-treated. We provide a structured assessment, psychoeducation, and a management plan that may include medication (SSRIs) and evidence-based therapy techniques, with referral to our partner specialised psychologist where needed.
Children and adolescents can experience a range of emotional and behavioural difficulties — including emotional disturbance of childhood or adolescence and learning disorders such as autism — that are often under-recognised. We provide compassionate assessment and psychosocial interventions, working closely with families and schools, and refer to paediatric psychiatrists and specialist psychologists when needed.
- Emotional disorders · Anxiety and school refusal · Adjustment difficulties
- Learning disorders including autism · Psychosocial interventions · Family support
Poor sleep has a profound effect on mental health, cognition, and physical wellbeing. We assess and manage a range of sleep disorders including insomnia (difficulty falling or staying asleep), delayed sleep phase, and sleep disturbances related to anxiety, depression, or medications. Our RESTORE Sleep Programme provides a structured, evidence-based approach combining cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBT-i), sleep hygiene, and where appropriate, medication.
- Insomnia · Delayed sleep phase · Stress-related sleep disturbance
- CBT-i · Sleep hygiene coaching · Medication management
ADHD in adults and adolescents often presents as chronic difficulty concentrating, disorganisation, impulsivity, and emotional dysregulation — frequently going undiagnosed for years. We assess for ADHD using validated clinical tools and discuss management strategies including behavioural approaches. Please note that stimulant medications should be obtained from a psychiatrist.
- Adult ADHD · Adolescent ADHD · Learning and attention concerns
- Behavioural strategies · Specialist referral
Burnout is a state of physical, emotional, and mental exhaustion caused by prolonged stress — particularly in the workplace or in caregiving roles. It goes beyond ordinary tiredness. It is a loss of motivation, increasing cynicism, and a diminishing sense of accomplishment. We assess for burnout and chronic stress systematically, address the underlying contributors, and provide a management plan that may include counselling, lifestyle strategies, and where appropriate, short-term medical support.
- Occupational burnout · Caregiver burnout · Chronic workplace stress
- Lifestyle and behavioural strategies · Counselling support
Major life transitions — job loss, relationship breakdown, bereavement, illness, relocation — can trigger a significant emotional response that meets the threshold of a clinical condition. Adjustment disorder is common, genuine, and treatable. We provide a space to process what is happening, with in-house counselling support through our registered counsellor.
We provide non-judgmental assessment and management for patients struggling with alcohol dependence, smoking, or other substance use concerns. Where specialist addiction services are needed, we coordinate referrals. Our approach is practical and supportive — not punitive. Most patients find that being properly assessed is the hardest and most important first step.
Patients with dementia frequently experience behavioural and psychological symptoms including agitation, depression, anxiety, sleep disturbances, and psychosis. These can be distressing for both the patient and their caregivers. We provide assessment, management, and caregiver support for BPSD, working closely with specialist partners where needed.
- Agitation · Depression in dementia · Sleep disturbance
- Caregiver support · Medication management · Specialist referral
Our registered in-house counsellor, Lilian Ong, provides individual counselling sessions both in-person and via Zoom. She works closely with Dr Dhivian to ensure your psychological and medical care are integrated. Counselling can help with depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, adjustment challenges, and more — you do not need a separate referral to see her.
- Individual counselling · In-person and Zoom sessions available
- Integrated with GP care · Evidence-based approaches
How Mental Health Affects Your Daily Life
This is often where people start to seek help. You might notice:
- Reduced work performance
- Struggles with relationships
- Loss of enjoyment in life
- Difficulty coping with daily stress
Many patients we see are still functioning — but everything feels harder than it should be.
When Should You Seek Help?
You don't need to wait until things become severe. Consider speaking to a doctor or therapist in Singapore if:
- Symptoms persist for more than a week
- Sleep is consistently affected
- Work, school or relationships are impacted
- You feel stuck or unsure what to do
Early support often leads to better outcomes.

How Mental Health Assessment Works
At our clinic, we take a whole-person approach. This allows our management to be best suited to your situation, leading to better outcomes.
Step 01
A Detailed Conversation
A detailed conversation about your symptoms and concerns — not a checklist. Your first consult will typically take 30–60 minutes.
Step 02
Understanding Your Context
We take time to understand your lifestyle, stressors, and sleep. Patterns matter, not just isolated symptoms.
Step 03
Screening and Diagnosis
Screening and diagnosis of conditions like anxiety, depression, burnout, and more — including ruling out physical causes such as hormonal abnormalities or anaemia.
Step 04
A Clear Plan
Treatment is tailored to your needs and comfort level. You leave knowing what the next steps are, whether that is counselling, medication, or both.
Why Patients Choose Us
Why Patients Choose Angsana Medical for Mental Health in Singapore
We Have Experience Managing Mental Health
Most GPs do not manage mental health and often refer patients directly to a psychiatrist. At Angsana Medical, our doctors have specific training and experience in managing mental health conditions in a primary care setting. We only refer patients with severe, complex, or treatment-resistant conditions — meaning most patients get the care they need without the cost and wait times of a specialist.
A More Comfortable Starting Point, Without Stigma
As a family clinic setting, there is no stigma attached to your visit — you are simply coming to see your GP. The clinical environment is welcoming, comfortable, and approachable. There is no imposing waiting room, no psychiatric label, and no pressure. You can start with a conversation and see where it leads.
Holistic, Integrated Care
As a Family Physician with advanced postgraduate training, Dr Dhivian combines mental health management with sleep, physical health, hormones, lifestyle, and relationship support — because these rarely exist independently. We work closely with our in-house counsellor and psychologist partners to deliver truly coordinated care, so that your psychological and medical needs are addressed together.
Why Patients Trust Our Care
Thoughtful consultations and continuity of care.
At Angsana Medical, we believe in a model of thoughtful consultations and continuity of care led by experienced Family Physicians trained in psychiatric care.
- You are not rushed
- You are listened to
- You are guided clearly
Our clinical director holds a Master of Medicine and brings multi-disciplinary experience to patient care.
We believe:
- Time is essential to good medicine
- Mental health is inseparable from physical health
- Trust is built through continuity
