API Care and Counselling is the professional counselling and community service arm of the Asian Pastoral Institute (API). It seeks to provide wholistic care for individuals, corporates and the community through its counselling and corporate services, workshops and talks, and community engagement. Led by a multidisciplinary team of senior counsellors, psychologists and social workers, our blend of skills serves to wholistically address personal mental health, relationships and family issues. Singapore’s community is religiously-diverse, with some 80% claiming affiliation to a religious faith. To meet such diverse needs, the team offers both faith-based counselling as well as evidence-based clinical counselling. Each Christan counsellor, psychologist, or social worker is capable of spanning the secular and spiritual spaces to integrate the spiritual, religious, and ethical values of the client in the counselling process. Together as a team, API Care and Counselling offers workshops, talks, and employee assistance plans to meet the complex needs of individuals, corporates and the community.

Asian Pastoral Institute offers three programmes in Counselling and Community Work: Graduate Diploma in Counselling, Master of Arts in Counselling and Community Work, and Doctorate in Counselling. All three counselling programmes are listed in the International Registry of Counsellor Education Programs (IRCEP), an international affiliate of the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP). The Master of Arts in Counselling and Community Work is recognised by the Singapore Association for Counselling (SAC), while both the Graduate Diploma and the Master programmes are accredited by Asia Theological Association (ATA). API counselling programmes are also recognised by the Singapore Ministry of Education (MOE) Guidance Unit; our graduates are eligible to apply as trained counsellors in its School Counsellor Programme. API counselling programmes uniquely integrate theology, spirituality, counselling, psychology, and community work with an emphasis on practice. The programmes are balanced and comprehensive. They equip and train students to work in diverse pastoral care, counselling, and community work contexts. Students are therefore ready to work in counselling and/or community services should they consider a career change. Graduands are also eligible to work towards professional recognition as a registered counsellor. The distinctiveness of the programmes, which integrates faith and spirituality with […]

We believe that our clients deserve a counsellor who is not only professional and trained, but one who is also motivated by a genuine desire to help. Counsellors at the Olive Branch work with clients to resolve issues so that they can move forward with their lives and are not dependent on counselling for years to come. They learn to make important changes and are equipped with tools provided by the counsellor to begin a new journey towards a more fulfilling life of purpose, meaning and greater joy.
