NON-PHARMACEUTICAL TREATMENT FOR ANXIETY & DEPRESSION
Amidst the fast-paced nature of modern life, RCC has observed that many individuals may be experiencing the symptoms of Anxiety and / or Depression (mild to moderate classification). Accordingly, RCC has customised a unique treatment approach without the use of conventional psychopharmacological drugs that may have the following benefits:
- Increased empowerment and mastery of self, leading to potential increases in self- confidence and self-esteem
- Increased efficacy due to the individualised nature of the treatment (customised to suit the needs of different clients)
- A reduction in potential long-term dependency issues
- A reduction in the potential for tolerance to pharmaceutical drug treatments for anxiety / depression
- A reduction in the potential for experiencing side effects from pharmaceutical drug treatments for anxiety / depression

At present, RCC is in the midst of clinical research to publish its findings. Preliminary data reflects a high efficacy rate for better managing and / or coping with anxiety and depression.
CONSULTATION FOR LAW FIRMS

SAFETY PSYCHOLOGY
RCC is one of the few clinical agencies in Singapore that specialises in Safety Psychology for the Singapore context. One of the agency’s core areas of expertise is in providing psychological consultation services to corporate and governmental institutions to improve their understanding of safety management systems through Psychology, as well as the human factors behind errors and accidents.
THE RAVEN APPROACH (YOUTH WORK – BPSw MODEL)
RCC’s close collaboration with schools and its experience in youth work has allowed it to conceptualise, implement and evaluate a contextualised approach to youth work centred on established scientific theories from the disciplines of Biology, Psychology and Social Work.
Evaluation data, from a statutory board of the local government tasked with training professionals dealing with youth issues (collated over 4 years), reflects that close to 100% of participants either agree or strongly agree to the effectiveness of the course when instructed on the BPSw Model.
BODY LANGUAGE (KINESICS)
RCC has years of experience in instructing and advising on skill sets pertaining to better understanding human body language through the lens of psychological, anthropological, evolutionary and historical perspectives.

RESPONSIBLE THINKING PROCESS (RTP)
To meet the ever-changing needs of society with regards to discipline issues, RCC is the first counselling agency in Singapore to specialise in providing consultation on the RTP framework. RCC is also the first agency in Singapore to run a full-time service centre in a mainstream school that utilised principles of the RTP.
RTP aims to help service-users think and act responsibly whilst respecting the rules as well as the rights of others. The process would eventually lead to protecting time for teaching and learning, helping the service-user gain self-awareness & self-control, as well as helping the service-user gain insights into setting limits, compromise and managing their lives. RTP is highly proactive and is one of the few discipline methodologies presently being researched for the Singapore context.
