About The Lion Mind
The Lion Mind began its journey on 2 April 2018 as a nonprofit organisation dedicated to providing affordable and accessible counselling services to the public. We officially opened our first counselling centre at Peace Centre on 1 September 2018.
As our services grew, we relocated to the Tung Ann Association Building on 15 June 2022, where we continued supporting our community with quality mental health care. After several impactful years, we concluded our operations at the Tung Ann Association Building on 30 June 2025.
From 1 July 2025, The Lion Mind has transitioned into a new chapter as a private limited entity—continuing our commitment to mental health support with renewed energy and purpose.
We are now located at Crocodile House!
