"I Had Anxiety Attacks from Acid Reflux." - April 2023: Mark Lim
Chris is extremely approachable and his methods have helped me relax over 5 sessions. Prior to coming to Chris, I had a couple of anxiety attacks, triggered by acid reflux. Some of these attacks happened while I was driving. Those attacks made me reach out for help. I found Chris after reading the reviews and I wanted to see if he could help me.
Chris has alot of experience with dealing with clients who’ve had panic attacks and suffer from anxiety. He was able to help reduce my anxiety after the first session and it got much better after which. He is a seasoned life coach that had provided me with sound and digestible advice ranging from stress management, to parenting and job satisfaction.
If you are looking for an effective and safe way to take back control of your life and enjoy it, please give Chris a try.

"I travelled to Singapore for therapy with Chris." - February 2023: Jordan Tan
I travelled from overseas for therapy session with Chris. For years, I have seen many counsellors, but Chris was different. I have met him for a month and he is the best amongst them.
Chris has been helpful in managing my anxiety fears and boredom. He slowly navigated it and help me overcome my feelings , as a result my anxiety levels has dropped significantly. From the sessions, I found many different ways to spend my time wisely and efficiently , my fear of ghosts and sleeping poorly has been completely eradicated.
He has also gave me many meaningful advice and life lessons throughout our sessions for my school education , sports and relationships. He made it easier for me to understand the concepts he was teaching me through linking to my past experiences.

I felt helpless before meeting Chris. I was skeptical seeing so many good reviews given but I was desperate to get better so I took the leap of faith.

"I Had a Fear of Flying." -August 2022: Joseph Tay.
I had an anxiety attack recently from the fear of flying alone. However it brought in other fears which I’ve never experienced before. I consulted a psychiatrist who recommended I go on a medication program. I was hesitant because it could last for at least 6 months on meds. I sought for alternative treatments and found Stress.sg. No meds here. It’s purely counseling. All I can say is that after my first session, my anxiety level almost completely went away. More importantly, I learnt what I need to do to prevent these negative feelings from recurring. I’m glad I signed up for the program.
"My Previous Psychologist Could Not Help Me." - July 2022: Angie W
My friend (who was Chris' previous client) recommended me to Chris' sessions as I was facing some anxiety issues.
Overall, it was a very comfortable and effective experience. Previously I had experiences with different counsellors for those same issues and they were giving standard approach on how to tackle common issues. Their instructions and methods weren't as helpful as sessions with Chris. Chris listened carefully to my issues and worked with me to provide a personalized solution
I would recommend people to give it a shot if you want improvements. I am feeling more confident and happy now.
"I Went to A&E 10 Times." -June 2022: Sean Lim

I highly recommend to anyone with anxiety and phobias.
"My Friend Succeeded with Chris and Recommened Me." -June 2022: Zi Xin
I have anxiety surfacing since COVID pandemic in July 2021 and i was still having breathlessness everyday without any reason which I couldnt identify to eliminate completely and anxiety attacks which made me lose my confidence for almost a year into 2022.
Chris has successfully helped my friend and my friend recomended him to me after knowing my circumstance in June 2022. At first, similar to other reviews, I find the price steep vs others but I have decided to give it a try with the mindset that as long as it is going to help me eliminate it, the money can always be earned back again. Mental well being is very important than anything else in life.
After my sessions with Chris, I definitely didnt regret taking this step forward because my breathelessness has significantly decreased and no longer having anxiety attacks which scares me because I am better in control with myself now.
It is very relaxing, comforting and funny to speak to Chris during the sessions. I was at first very scared before the 1st session but gradually I enjoyed the session. I felt lighter after every session and calmer in my life and at work. People close to me has seen that I am calmer, happier and having more confidence in myself. Most importantly, I can feel that my usual self before anxiety is back with confidence!
In between the last 2 sessions, an unexpected crisis happened to me at work and I was able to bounce back my emotions and feelings before I meet Chris for the session.
I am very relieved, grateful for Chris in supporting me through this journey, unlocking the roots of my anxiety and help me see the light at the end of the tunnel!
"Do give yourself a chance at tackling the anxiety/depression by consulting with Chris and you might find yourself in a much better place that you are currently in." - May 2022: Jun Jie
Have been struggling with Anxiety issues when i left my previous job. Believing it to be burnout coupled with Covid times, i didn't think much into the underlying issues and life carries on. Fast forward to 4 months into the new job, the existing anxiety issues resurfaced and i felt there was a need to seek professional help. Even though i was skeptical after reading the good reviews on Google, i tried to believe Chris when we spoke through the tele consultation.
It was a tailored programme where Chris would take into consideration the current issues that i am facing and setting the goals what we would like to achieve at the end of the programme.
Throughout the 1st to 3rd sessions, i felt better every time after the session despite the occasional relapse of anxiety issues. Having a different perspective from Chris and tips to counter the issues greatly helps in curbing the matter on hand.
After i have completed the programme, i do feel similar emotions but i am more at ease with myself and able to maintain in a better state of calmness/mindfulness.
Do give yourself a chance at tackling the anxiety/depression by consulting with Chris and you might find yourself in a much better place that you are currently in.

"After struggling with insomnia for a few weeks, I decided that I had enough and took action by wanting to speak to someone." - December 2021: Wei Wang
" I was feeling stressed and anxious at my workplace from a variety of reasons. After struggling with insomnia for a few weeks, I decided that I had enough and took action by wanting to speak to someone. Chris' practice, StressSg, was the first to appear on my Google search and after reading the reviews, I decided to approach Chris for help.
I must say that his style is quite unorthodox and certainly not what I had expected. Nonetheless, through the 5 sessions, I learned more about myself and why I felt the way I did. More importantly, I was able to be in better control of my anxiety and to address the matter at hand, my insomnia. I won't say that the insomnia, anxiety and dread will never return, but I do feel more confident to confront such feelings the next time they return."
"I am very very lucky to have found such a great therapist." - November 2021: Raihanaa Aaisha

Although I am still learning how to cope with my emotions I’m definitely a much stronger individual thanks to Chris. After each session with Chris I felt more positive about life and felt more confident about myself. I would definitely recommend Chris to those who are facing anxiety/stress/depression. He will be able to guide you step by step through you problems and give you the best perspectives . Thank you Chris!!
"Help yourself by letting someone like Chris help you. It's definitely worth a shot!" - October 2021: Wei Ling
One of the best things I've done for myself this year is taking that leap of faith to reach out for support and thankfully finding Chris in that process. At the start, Chris explained the structure of the program and how we will progress over the 5 sessions. He would also ask what you would like to achieve from the program, as this will help guide the conversation and thus help you reach your goals. It was a tough time when I started, being wrought with all that anxiety, worry and negativity that had accumulated over years. Over the sessions, we unpacked some incidents that had deeply impacted me in the past. The conversations guided me to reframe some of my perspectives to something more helpful. I had benefited from the emotional catharsis even from just the 1st session - the panic attacks just stopped. To others feeling stuck in their situation and unsure if this could help them - I would say to keep an open mind and trust the process, as it would definitely lead you to a good start on the journey of feeling better. Working through certain emotional knots we may not even have been aware of in our subconscious can be so liberating. The TL;DR - Help yourself by letting someone like Chris help you. It's definitely worth a shot!

I was self initiated in meeting with Chris not so much because things were bad at my end but because I wanted to make my outlook on certain aspects of my life better. I wanted to be in control of things rather than let things, situations and people control me. And however much I tried to resolve this myself, I needed an expert like Chris to make it stick and to make sense out of what I was feeling. He was able to offer a perspective which helped in resolving issues about my past and present. And I feel well equipped to face my future with calm and ease. Thank you Chris!

Your guidance can allow me to build persistence and resilience.
"It's definitely worth the money to get myself back on the right track in my life." - August 2021: Grayson Tan
Feeling down and empty for a few weeks-months (nearing exams) was uncomfortable and I didn't know what to do. With little to no knowledge of why I was feeling this way, my father and I decided to try Stress. SG. Chris explained how emotions can lead up to other things and the knowledge has helped thus far.
After my first few sessions, I had felt much better, I was happier and the feeling of being down was not as evident as before and I felt like I was becoming my old self. A big part of which Chris had to play in as it felt like a safe space to share and talk about my past which may have played a large role as to my then emotions.
By the last session, I was feeling much better. We cleared up some feelings I had felt and it brought about a sense of relief. Throughout this period, he was accommodating to my busy schedule and would squeeze time in for our sessions. He prioritises my well-being and is also genuine and honest with me.
"He is a great conversationalist, very engaging to talk to." - July 2021: Faiz Suhaimi
I had experienced several anxiety episodes throughout my life and decided to take action about it. Stumbled upon Chris's website and leaped faith with the program. During the consultation, Chris has been open that there is no guaranteed success, but I was intrigued by the splendid reviews. Personally, I find the program useful in some ways. First, it allows me to explore my deepest issue and get it resolved. Secondly, I got to know or realize my own personality. Thirdly, the program prepares me to handle future events or life in general. Chris, as a counselor, is a brilliant and quick-thinking person in my opinion. It amazes me how he always has the right things to say to tackle my issues. He shares useful experiences to illustrate his points. And his points are always valid. He is a great conversationalist, very engaging to talk to. Having said that, Chris and his program is not a quick-fix solution. One will still have to put in the effort to 'practice' what was explained or taught to overcome any issues, present or future.
"I benefited and hope that it will be the same for whoever is reading this." - July 2021: Mr. Phua

"After my 5 sessions with Chris, I am in a very healthy headspace and I am finally ready to take life head-on." - July 2021: Mr. P.
For context, I have had depression for about 13 years. Low self-esteem, anxiety, poor motivation, and self-blame were all part of it. I have tried many kinds of treatments to no avail but this one just stuck. After my 5 sessions with Chris, I am in a very healthy headspace and I am finally ready to take life head-on. This is a place I have never quite been able to reach on my own. Throughout the course, I subconsciously made better life choices and became a stronger individual. These changes came from self-actualization instead of the usual advice you get from your everyday therapist. The sessions prompted me to dive deep into my inner work and attack issues at their core. Overall, it was well worth it. The money and time spent saved me a ton of future baggage. I would recommend going into the course with an open mind, a willingness to change, and your most authentic self. Attempting to predict the experience will just ruin the experience on its own. 5/5 experience ⭐️
"In terms of results, the program although short had a profound impact on how I perceive my problems and life in general." - June 2021: Kimberly Wong
Before meeting Chris, I was suffering from high stress and anxiety which started to inhibit me from carrying out my day-to-day activities. My mum, being worried, sought out Chris for help. Now, having gone through the treatment, I am very glad to have taken the step in seeking help for my mental health! I would really recommend this program both from a practical as well as a results-driven point of view. My program with Chris only included 5 sessions, so if you are not looking for a program that requires a long-term commitment, Stress. sg might be a great option (depending on your case). On top of that, Chris also has a short free consultation for you to get to know him, share your troubles, and evaluate if you would be comfortable talking to him. So rest assured that you have the option to see for yourself before committing to a program. In terms of results, the program although short had a profound impact on how I perceive my problems and life in general. Chris has helped me go through my many years of repressed emotions and triggers and slowly resolve them one by one. I have also learned valuable skills in adapting and coping with future problems. Even at the end of my second session with him, I was already feeling and seeing major shifts in how I handle my current triggers and my boyfriend can even tell the difference in mindset. Chris also offers practical and useful advice on areas such as work, relationships, and schooling that I found really helpful. Overall I would say that I both enjoyed my sessions and found that that really improved my mental well-being and stress management.
"After the 3rd session, I start to see things from a different perspective." - June 2021: Mrs. E.
Things were overwhelming when I came to meet Chris. I was feeling stressed, down & helpless. After reading & going through his reviews, client's profile. I decided to just make the appt. I do not want to fall into depression, so I was thinking to myself why to keep quiet & suffer in silence. No harm in getting help since I have been very stressed. After the 3rd session, I start to see things from a different perspective. I really learned a lot from him during these sessions. If you feel overwhelmed you are not alone. Go on with life with an open mind.

I would highly recommend the program with Chris!
"I was able to put down my issues with anxiety and sleep that I have been having for the past few years in a mere 5 sessions." - April 2021: Jaye
I was able to put down my issues with anxiety and sleep that I have been having for the past few years in a mere 5 sessions. It is always comfortable talking to Chris and sharing with him my worries and fears which he is always able to alleviate and soothe without hard effort from me. Children and adults alike would definitely benefit from his sessions that build relaxation, concentration, and ease of mind to do things in life more effectively and efficiently. I wished I had known and took up Chris' therapy package sooner so that I could start living life at ease earlier. The fact is that the longer we allow our issues to drag, the more unconfident we become. I am surprised particularly at how Chris was able to clear my mind and my worries in such a short span of time and with so little effort on my part. I gain a lot of insights and comfort from Chris' sessions. Much relaxation and comfort came on the first session itself, making me appreciate myself and become comfortable with myself a lot more. Negative feelings and emotions also go away almost instantly. Subsequent sessions build on this heightened self-belief and self-confidence, giving me resilience and skills that strengthen and reinforce my healing. Basically, through Chris' therapy sessions, I was able to put down a lot of past baggage and discomfort, some conscious and some subconscious, some recent and some that have accompanied me through life, and see things in a new way and live life in a more 'informed', 'wise' and free state, mentally and physically. Chris is also a good life and relationship coach who gives sound and executable advice on strategies and approaches to life and its various challenges. Particularly, Chris' therapies on anxiety and sleep help me relax better and feel safe and secure and confident.
"Chris' therapy sessions are well worth the money." - April 2021: Thai Anh Ngo
Chris' therapy sessions are well worth the money I had been suffering from chronic anxiety disorder and depression for many years until one day I decided to make my way out of it. Before I met Chris, I had been nearly mentally collapsed, emotionally paralyzed and at some point, I could not function properly in daily life. I did try traditional psychology consultation but as devoting and helpful as my previous psychologists tried to be, they could never uproot my source of anxiety and depression. What made the situation worse was that they prescribed me a lot of sleeping pills, hoping the medication can help alleviate my condition. It did not, I was becoming even more addicted yet resistant to medication. A simple Google search led me to Chris's website. To be honest, I had a lot of doubts before meeting with him. "How can a 5-session therapy package could treat my chronic anxiety?" "How come this man can get a lot of 5-star reviews and rarely a 1-star. Is it too good to be true? Were all the reviews paid or kinda marketing gimmick?" "The office is too simple and it looks like a one-man-show startup, can I trust his profession?"To clear my doubts, I decided to just go ahead and ask Chris a lot of questions, about the therapy method he would use, what I can expect, what he can treat, etc. It turns out to be the best decision I made for my mental health. Looking back, I am so thankful for the experience with Stress. SG. I can finally take my life back and give my life a second chance to be happy and stress-free. I understand myself, others around me, and life more. I can develop empathy towards myself and others, can deal with uncomfortable events and even failures better. At work, my level of concentration, productivity, and performance have been better more than ever. I can sleep well at night without any medication. Mental health is really critical to the quality of life. And though one size does not fit all, Chris's program is an amazing first step anyone can take during their lifelong journey of developing a healthy mental state. Give your life a chance!
"However we're only three sessions in, and from the first session, I've already started feeling better." - April 2021: Nabilah Bahrim
I came in because my parents were really worried about me spiraling. I'd lost what little appetite I initially had, was highly unmotivated in the things I was pursuing, highly apathetic, and felt a lot of crippling emotions that affected many parts of my life, reinforcing those emotions and building up a cycle of unhealthy escapism. When I first came to meet Chris I wasn't sure that therapy would help. However we're only three sessions in (started last week) and from the first session, I've already started feeling better. Chris is really friendly and you feel him putting in a lot of effort to understand and help you. I think the key is to want to be helped and knowing that this is a safe space now, perhaps I would have been more forthcoming right from the start. The sessions helped me to untangle preexisting emotions and resolve them while dealing with future ones as they come and responding to them healthily. I think this is something I'll be able to do on my own based on what we've practiced, moving forward. So thanks Chris and thank you Mama and Ayah for caring about me and helping me figure out how to help myself :)
"After a couple of sessions with him, I was able to work through my mind as well as emotional blockages." - March 2021: Mr. Phua
Before seeing Chris I had anxiety issues and feeling depressed. I could not motivate myself to do much and was unable to focus. Insomnia was terrible and that affected my health. After a couple of sessions with him, I was able to work through my mind as well as emotional blockages. With the blockages out of the way, I’m now in a more positive mental state. I was able to sleep better with the PerfectSleep program and starting to get motivated to get stuff done.I now feel more in control of my own emotions and reactions. With the emotional tools Chris gave me, I was able to better relate to my family and show genuine empathy.I went through other programs that cost at least 3 times more but the results with Chris would come to a lot cheaper and the resolutions are permanent. He did that by letting me understand myself more.I was initially skeptical about this since my spouse was the one who referred me to the program. However, after going through it I’m glad I did And I’m thankful to my wife for what she’s done.That said, what was taught during the sessions needs to be practiced and worked on. And to those of you out there who are struggling like I was, you have the power to get out of the rut. Do not try to do this alone anymore.Reach out to Chris. He might be able to help you as he helped me. Stay well.
"When I talk about my issue, I also find out that he is LGBTQ-friendly." - February 2021: L.J
Chris is very nice and helpful during the 5 sessions of therapy. He did share a lot of knowledge about self-confidence and how to be not hang up on other people’s expectations. The therapy helped me to resolve family stress and relationship issues. When I talk about my issue, I also find out that he is LGBTQ-friendly.He is funny at times when we have conversations, it feels more like talking to an understanding elder friend. I did take away the method of relaxing. After the 5 therapy, I get to know myself/ my personality better, too.
"I didn’t expect that I would be feeling so much better after just a few sessions with Chris." - January 2021: Jasmine Foo
I didn’t expect that I would be feeling so much better after just a few sessions with Chris. Trust me, this is not advertising or anything. I do encounter a lot of issues with my own life and thought of ending it as well. Chris really helps a lot in knowing what I have gone through and it helps to understand myself even better. I am really thankful for that.I was recommended by my friend and it was successful for her as well.
"Chris is sincere and a good listener, who shares his experiences on how to deal with matters that life throws at you." - January 2021: Keith Tan
I was initially skeptical about what Chris offered, even after the first session. But as the sessions went on, I gained more clarity. Chris is sincere and a good listener, who shares his experiences on how to deal with matters that life throws at you. A good life coach that I would recommend to anyone who needs some guidance.
"[...] but once I talk to him during the first session, he was able to pinpoint what my problem is, and after few sessions, I become more aware of myself." - January 2021: Selvia
I was skeptical at first before I met Chris since I had never been to any therapist before and have zero experience with counseling, but once I talk to him during the first session, he was able to pinpoint what my problem is, and after few sessions, I become more aware of myself.
"Chris' sessions were effectively targeted to address my needs." - January 2021: Marc Wong
Chris' sessions were effectively targeted to address my needs. The course’s value for money and achieved my objectives within the 5 weeks.
"I didn't expect to be feeling much better from all the symptoms and my overall self." - December 2020: Jingying
I didn't expect to be feeling much better from all the symptoms and my overall self. Took the leap of faith to meet Chris for treatment. Having an open mind and the willingness to be better will definitely help if you are keen to get better. Definitely, a sincere friendly counselor that I'm grateful to. Thank you for what you have helped me with and do continue to do what you are good in!
"After trying Stress.SG as my last hope, I actually saw improvement from the first session onwards." - Decemeber 2020: Amearish Raja
For many months I've had anxiety issues. I was having panic attacks, dizziness, palpitations, bloating, lethargic sleepless nights, etc. I was only sleeping 3-4hrs a night, I was dependant on Melatonin to give me a good sleep but it wasn't very helpful. All these made me feel depressed and left me feeling worse than I should've been feeling.After trying Stress.SG as my last hope, I actually saw improvement from the first session onwards, Chris is very effective and uses methods that may actually seem unfamiliar at first but proves to be good methods to overcome anxiety and depression, and sleep issues. I'm sleeping a minimum of 7hrs now, I sleep throughout, have deep sleep, mood improves a lot with a good night’s sleep, I was kind of surprised that all these things were resolved in a matter of 3-4 sessions.All I needed was to see 1 person that changed my views and perspective on things, I never knew all my issues were down to stress and anxiety, I thought that I was having a lot of medical issues but in fact, it’s all in the mind and sleep.The program was easy to follow and was a very comfortable process especially with Chris he was patient and answered all of my questions and guided me to recovery, I would recommend everyone who has been facing issues like this to consult Stress.SG .
"After just 3 sessions with Chris, I felt so much better. After the 4th session, I felt so much more confident about myself, that anxiety was not going to come back, and a lot calmer." - December 2020: Ming Tan
I was having anxiety due to some personal issues for nearly 2 years. I also had trouble sleeping, as the anxiety extended even to bedtime. I have very bad panic attacks, waking up in the middle of the night, heart racing, breathless, nauseous, feeling as though I am going to die, or faint. After just 3 sessions with Chris, I felt so much better. After the 4th session, I felt so much more confident about myself, that anxiety was not going to come back, and a lot calmer. Now, I sleep peacefully through the night, free of worries. He also taught me to future-proof myself, about handling any situations in the future, so that I can do so in a relaxed and calm manner. This is the greatest takeaway. And I am convinced that he can really help, he is sincere to help, and it works!
"It’s amazing how I manage to reduce my anxiety with each session." - December 2020: Eliza Tay
Before my session with Chris, I have doubts about whether these sessions would be able to help me address the anxiety issues which I have been facing. However, I am really thankful that I went for it.It was a 5 session programmed and by the 3rd session, the anxiety issue which I was facing previously was gone. It’s amazing how I manage to reduce my anxiety with each session.Before the sessions, I was having dry heaving and sleepless nights. However, just after my first 2 sessions with Chris, these issues were resolved. My dry heaving stopped and I was finally able to rest well at night.The sessions conducted by Chris make one feel assured and secured.The price paid for these sessions was definitely worth it. Another reason why I decided to take up my sessions with Chris was mainly since I do not believe that medication is the only way to solve the anxiety issues which I was facing. And indeed, with Chris' sessions, all my anxiety issues were solved without medication but purely based on counseling.The sessions with Chris are easy to follow even for kids! Additionally, the environment that Chris conducts the session is safe and helps one feel relaxed and comfortable.I would highly recommend anyone who is facing anxiety issues to try out these sessions with Chris.
"After just 4 sessions with Chris, I began to grow confident that I can actually self-manage my emotions and anxiety level and learn to be calm and in control of my own anxiety." - November 2020: Joyce Tan
Before coming to Chris' session, I was really skeptical at first from reading all the good reviews found on the stress sg page. As I was suffering from panic attacks for more than 10 years, initially I did not believe how a 5 session program could help me to recover but the good reviews were too many that makes me decide to come for a try as I was really in distress from having episodes of hyperventilations and dry retching due to the anxiety orders I had.Working in the medical field where I deal with medication all the time initially I thought that medications are the only solution to solve my anxiety disorders but throughout the 5 sessions with Chris, I realized that there is no need for involvement of medications for me to actually get better.After just 4 sessions with Chris, I began to grow confident that I can actually self-manage my emotions and anxiety level and learn to be calm and in control of my own anxiety. The methods that Chris taught are pretty simple and easy to follow through but are also effective in bringing down the anxiety level to a pretty much comfortable level. I would highly recommend people who have the same condition as me to come forward to this program and give yourself a chance to feel better as you need not suffer in silence from an anxiety disorder.
"Chris had been very helpful and professional providing customized sessions for the therapy/"chit-chat session" after understanding the issues that I am facing." - November 2020: Angelina Tan
Chris had been very helpful and professional providing customized sessions for the therapy/"chit-chat session" after understanding the issues that I am facing. The initial two sessions are indeed effective as he will narrow down your issues like a checklist, ticking them off from it - making you(me) feeling more relieved after every visit. The sessions completed with methods on how to manage your emotions and no repeating the same situation again when you face it will be extremely useful. In short, he helps you(me) to understand myself better, to better manage myself in situations of emotional in-rush and constantly self-reminding with continuous practicing. The missing star goes to the price (personal opinion) or maybe includes the 'perfect sleep' package.
"After coming to Stress SG, I was taught different ways on how to cope with my stress, anxiety with breathing techniques, and even time management." - November 2020: Chae Woon Pong
I was 16 when I first came to seek help as I was feeling stressed with my upcoming N Level Exams. My dad came across stress and, I was willing to try it out as it was 2 months before my exams and I knew I had to do something about it. I was constantly feeling the stress and would break down into tears as I could not cope with it. After entering Upper Secondary, I always had a high expectation for myself to get a distinction as my dream was to enter the PFP course which required a good score.I needed help to educate me on ways to relieve my stress and the negative mindset of giving myself too high expectations. After coming to Stress SG, I was taught different ways on how to cope with my stress, anxiety with breathing techniques, and even time management.Now that I’m in the PFP course, I’m constantly bombarded with many projects and assignments which have close datelines. I can really see the change in me, the old me would probably break down once again and cry. But now, I’m able to plan my time and cope with the stress and do my work systematically.At the same time, the sessions were very easy and the advice that Chris gave is extremely helpful. By the third session, I was already feeling much better and had a better aspect of how to cope with the emotions and anxiety that I was facing.I highly recommend people like me to come to find Chris for help, as it would be a great helping hand for not only the present but also the future.
"It’s clear and structured, a wide range of issues are covered through our sessions and there are no unanswered problems/issues." - October 2020: Susy Ho
My life went on pause due to the pandemic. This period is a very stressful time for my family and me. My mood hit rock bottom, I was feeling really depressed, had anxiety/panic attacks, had problems sleeping well at night, and have a hard time controlling my anger as well. My child and husband had to take all these outbursts and it’s taking a toll on them.I heard about Chris through a friend and after reading the reviews posted by one mother in particular, I decided to take up sessions with him.His therapy is different from the other therapist I’ve been to. It’s clear and structured, a wide range of issues are covered through our sessions and there are no unanswered problems/issues. The reason I stopped seeing a regular therapist was that there seems to be no end to when the sessions would end. With Chris, he is confident that it would improve whatever problems you’re facing at the moment. He would address previous issues that have to be solved to address the current problems. I thought that is really effective.My emotions are much better and controlled at the end of our 6 sessions (including a one-time sleep therapy session). The sleep therapy had improved my sleep sessions and it’s easier to fall asleep at night as well. With the advice he’s given throughout my therapy, I feel more comfortable and confident to handle them.
"I’m astonished by the fact that my friends already told me I sound happier and look much more alert and sane after 1 to 2 sessions with Chris, it is incredible, given such a short period." - September 2020: Dexter Poh
I was doubtful at first as I am more of a medicine person but after I decided to start with Chris (Stress. SG), all aspects of my life and feelings improved drastically or rather getting back into place.It’s amazing what can be done. He shows me how one person can empower themselves with the ability to heal and get better without the use of medication, as well as sleep better.I’m astonished by the fact that my friends already told me I sound happier and look much more alert and sane after 1 to 2 sessions with Chris, it is incredible, given such a short period. It is an understatement that I am happy I found him.I am not a review person but I am writing this because I truly hope that many people like me out there looking for a solution get genuine help and assistance instead of giving up, thinking that it’s the end.Chris's therapy is more effective than medications, therapy of his felt more like a cure. Medications merely suppress our emotions but it is not a cure. Do try Chris out first before you think only medication can help!me to come forward to this program and give yourself a chance to feel better as you need not suffer in silence from an anxiety disorder.

Okay, I am done with my Sessions with Chris Tan. I have graduated...

Not only have I gain a new friend (Chris Tan) but also from him, I have learned so much. Great job!

"If you like an efficient therapist, Chris is the man. Not sure psychology doctors can compete with him, because he really wants to fix you for good, no BS recurring business. I absolutely loved it!" - August 2020: Mrs. Zhong
I went through a breakup during the lockdown. Then I experienced anxiety on daily basis at work so I decided to get some professional help. My anxiety went away after the 3rd session. If you like an efficient therapist, Chris is the man. Not sure psychology doctors can compete with him, because he really wants to fix you for good, no BS recurring business. I absolutely loved it! Below is my full experience for those of you who are interested.This was my first time seeing a therapist ever. I also have friends telling me that they see a therapist once per month, but Chris is clearly less of a businessman, he teaches people how to fix problems on their own. I like Chris' confidence and efficiency, so I decided to give it a go.I went into my first session not knowing what to expect, he got me to talk about my uncomfortable childhood problems. It was a fast-paced session, as I never talked about those negative feelings before, I had mixed feelings after the first session.I had the second & third sessions within 3 days after the first session, we worked on other negative emotions that I had. What I felt after the second session was magic. I felt so light and I literally danced through my way back home.In the fourth session, we decided to use this session to guide me through what I really want in life, although it wasn't completely a therapy session, I didn't find it any less useful than therapy sessions before. It was a very informative/efficient session.In the fifth session, we worked on the very last negative emotion that I had (past tense already). I am feeling so good.I came to Chris to fix my mess after a breakup, surprisingly not only my anxiety was fixed, but I also learned about marriage, career, and how to be a good manager. We covered a wide range of topics, and it helped me to be more resilient when facing difficult/stressful situations. I highly recommend this service!

I was pleasantly surprised but the program and how it was tailored to my specific needs as a person. Chris made sure that I am comfortable and making progress in every session, and I was already feeling much better after 3 sessions. Its important to practice what you learn during the time and you will improve your mental health, well being and quality of life.

"My experience with Chris has been nothing short of amazing." - May 2020: Karen
My experience with Chris has been nothing short of amazing. While I was first skeptical about being able to overcome my anxiety in just 5 sessions, my doubt were quickly dissolved after seeing many testimonials from his past clients, and after my free consultation and first session. Would recommend you see Chris if you feel like there's no other way of alleviating your anxiety or depression.
"I had learned very useful skills to manage stress and also how to overcome future challenges." - April 2020: Jade Zhang
I came to Chris for counseling regarding how to manage work stress and sleep better. He has been very helpful and his program worked really well for me. I had learned very useful skills to manage stress and also how to overcome future challenges. He had also given me a lot of help on giving me life and career advice which I find really useful. I was able to overcome my stress challenges only after 4 sessions.I felt comfortable and safe working with Chris throughout my sessions as he’s very professional and understanding. His program is worth going for even tho it may not be very cheap, however, the knowledge and skills I have gained are all worth it.
"The 5-day program is really good and efficient." - April 2020: Kian Jun Yap
The 5-day program is really good and efficient. Previously, I am feeling stress and negative most of the time but I felt so much better after session 3. I have tried other methods such as meditation to deal with my situation. However, Chris's session and technique are unique, simple, and really effective in improving the entire situation much faster and better. Chris is really experience and professional that he can really offer amazing solutions, advice, perspective to you, and help in your situation. He has given me the knowledge and skill to deal with my past, present, and future. Highly recommended. The price will be slightly pricy but it is really worth it.
