Mental health conversations in Singapore have finally gone mainstream. Google searches for “psychiatrist Singapore”, “therapy Singapore price”, and “best mental health clinic SG” hit all-time highs every single month in 2025. Below are the 10 clinics (private + restructured) that consistently top Reddit (r/SingaporeRaw & r/askSingapore), Telegram support groups, and private WhatsApp threads when people ask “where did you actually get better?”
1. The Psychotherapy Clinic @ Novena Medical Centre
Dr John Lim & Dr Jared Ng’s team — the most-mentioned private psych practice in 2025. Zero-waiting-list policy for urgent cases (they keep daily crisis slots), bulk-billing for SAF/MHA personnel, and the famous “first session within 48 hours” promise. Their adult ADHD assessments are booked 4–5 months ahead.
2. Mind Care Clinic @ Camden Medical
Home of Dr Tommy Tan and Dr Lim Boon Leng. The “celebrity psychiatrist” clinic that normal people also go to because they accept insurance (Great Eastern, NTUC Income, Prudential) with almost zero co-pay. 2025 wait time dropped to 2–3 weeks because they hired four new senior consultants.
3. Institute of Mental Health (IMH) — Outpatient Clinics
Still the gold standard for complex cases (bipolar, schizophrenia, OCD refractory). The 2025 revamp means new patients now see a psychiatrist within 2–4 weeks instead of 3–6 months. Subsidised fees remain insane value: 38–38–65 per session for Singaporeans.
4. Resilienz Clinic @ Royal Square Novena
The ADHD & autism assessment king. Dr Matthew H C Lee and his team of clinical psychologists run the most comprehensive 3-session adult ADHD diagnostic package in Singapore. Corporate packages for tech/finance companies exploded in 2025 — they now assess 200+ executives quarterly.
5. Promises Healthcare @ Novena Medical Centre
Famous for addiction (alcohol, gambling, gaming) and eating disorders. Multi-disciplinary team (psychiatrist + psychologist + dietitian in one roof). Their 8-week DBT programme for borderline personality has a 2025 waitlist of only 3 weeks because they doubled the groups.
6. The Psychology Practice @ Camden & Orchard
Dr Annabelle Chow’s team specialises in trauma, anxiety, and couples therapy. English/Mandarin/Cantonese therapists available. Their 2025 evening slots (7–10 pm) are fully booked within hours of release — working adults’ favourite.
7. SHINE Children & Youth Clinic — IMH & KK Women’s
The one everyone recommends for under-21s. Subsidised therapy + psych assessment from as low as 15–15–50 per session. The new 2025 Express Pathway means anxious teens now see a clinician within 1 week instead of 3 months.
8. Talk Your Heart Out (TYHO) — Online-First Platform
The “affordable therapy” darling started in 2023. 90–90–130 per session with Singapore-registered counsellors/psychologists, no waitlist, 9 am–11 pm daily. Their matching algorithm went viral because 94 % of users rate the first therapist match as “good fit”.
9. Adelphi Psych Medicine @ The Adelphi
Old-school clinic with brand-new 2025 vibes after renovation. Dr Winslow and Dr Munidasa Winslow still see patients personally. Specialises in forensic psych, addiction, and mood disorders. Accepts most corporate insurance with direct billing.
10. Mind What Matters @ UE Square
Dr Jacob Rajesh’s practice — the most recommended for Christian/Catholic clients who want faith-integrated therapy (but totally fine for anyone). Their group therapy for burnout (8-week programme) costs only $480 total and has a 3-month waitlist.
