About Dr BL Lim Centre for Psychological Wellness
Dr BL Lim Centre for Psychological Wellness is a paediatric-focused psychological practice located at Gleneagles Medical Centre, 6 Napier Rd, serving families islandwide. The listing is KakiList-verified. It holds a 4/5 rating across 130 Google reviews, which represents a robust sample and can be treated with reasonable confidence. Pricing is indicated at the mid-range tier ($$); specific consultation fees were not provided and should be confirmed directly with the centre.
Families typically begin by contacting the centre by phone or through the enquiry form to describe the child's presenting concerns — developmental delays, behavioural difficulties, learning differences, attention or anxiety issues — and to request an appointment. A first consultation with the psychologist will ordinarily involve a clinical interview with the parents and, depending on the child's age, a direct assessment or observation. Where a formal psychometric or diagnostic assessment is indicated (such as IQ testing, developmental profiling, or ADHD evaluation), this is usually scheduled as a separate extended session and billed accordingly. Reports from this centre may be used to support school placement applications, MOE referrals, or specialist medical follow-up. Confirm at the point of booking whether the assessment report is included in the quoted fee or billed separately, and whether the psychologist is SMC-registered or holds relevant credentials such as SPA registration — this distinction matters for insurance and MediSave eligibility.
To take the next step, contact Dr BL Lim Centre for Psychological Wellness directly by phone or via the website enquiry form to describe your child's needs, ask about the first-consultation fee, and request an appointment slot at Gleneagles Medical Centre.

Dr. Lim is simply outstanding. He’s meticulous to the core, yet so reassuring. His approach is one-of-a-kind—he truly listens, draws out valuable insights, and makes you feel completely at ease. You can tell his process is shaped by deep experience, every consultation is intentional. He carefully connected my story to a strategy that’s been a game-changer for my ADHD. Every recommendation has been on point. I wholeheartedly recommend him!

Dr Lim helped me diagnose my ADHD and guided me through the first steps of understanding and managing it with great empathy and professionalism. I truly appreciated the way he listened and explained things clearly, making the whole process much less overwhelming. I would also like to thank the clinic staff, who are always kind, responsive, and helpful in accommodating appointments and supporting my requests. Their professionalism makes every visit smooth and pleasant.

Throughout my time with Dr. Lim, it appears that he has a severe lack of empathy and viewed me as my illness rather than human first. My concerns were not being heard and he never once asked me what’s my goal or cared to take my quality of life into consideration. It’s as if the minute you step into the consultation room, he’s only thinking about how much of his time you’re wasting despite paying extra for every 15 mins block—multiple times he never let me have space to think and would rather shoo me out just so he can attend to other patients (also, be prepared to wait long here). This behaviour is simply straight up insensitive and it doesn’t make sense to me too because if he truly doesn’t want patients to wait then why is the waiting time still long despite rushing sessions? He also never let me have much of a say in terms of treatment, like it’s his opinion only matters here. The final nail in the coffin was when he told me to try taking supplements for my condition. I’m here for psychiatric care, not nutrition deficiency. My case was also overcomplicated by him as he piled on diagnosis after diagnosis which led him to admit that my case was tricky, but he also didn’t think to refer me to another psychiatrist who might have more experience. What’s the point in being honest but still insisting on handling my care? Just for the money? Went to seek a second opinion and eventually had a very simple care plan laid out for me within the first 45 minutes with plenty of assurances that while it may be hard, she will try her best. I heavily regret spending on multiple sessions with Dr. Lim when it was never even that complicated to begin with—he just decided to make it be and then doesn’t want to make the effort. In the duration I’ve been seeing him, it was more distressful than helpful. Wouldn’t even give one star if possible.

I have been seeing Dr Lim for the past year and I have had only great experiences. The dr is very helpful and kind. He was always sensitive about my issues and felt very comfortable opening up to him. The staff at the front desk was also very nice, friendly and helpful. Very recommend.

I had a really positive experience with Dr Lim. He is extremely patient and took the time to listen to everything I had to say without rushing me. I felt very comfortable throughout the consultations, which makes a huge difference. The advice he gives is very practical and realistic, which is important to me and shows his genuine care.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Dr BL Lim Centre for Psychological Wellness charge?›
Specific fees were not published at the time of this listing, so contact the centre directly for a current fee schedule.

For any planned assessment, ask for a written breakdown of all fees — consultation, assessment session, and report — before the first appointment. See the full paediatric cost guide for Singapore →
Is Dr BL Lim Centre for Psychological Wellness MOH-licensed and how do I verify the doctor?›
No MOH Healthcare Services Licence or SMC registration details were listed in the provider data, so these could not be independently confirmed at the time of writing. Every legitimate clinic in Singapore holds an MOH Healthcare Services Licence issued under the Healthcare Services Act, verifiable on the MOH licensee directory. Every practising doctor is searchable on the Singapore Medical Council (SMC) public register at smc.gov.sg. If the centre's practitioners are psychologists rather than medical doctors, they would fall under the Singapore Psychological Society (SPS) or Singapore Register of Psychologists (SRP) rather than SMC — and MediSave and Integrated Shield Plan coverage would generally not apply. Clarify the credentials of the practitioner you will be seeing before booking, as this determines both clinical scope and insurance eligibility.
How do I use MediSave or insurance at Dr BL Lim Centre for Psychological Wellness?›
Whether MediSave or an Integrated Shield Plan (IP) can be used depends on the credentials of the practitioner. If the consultation is with an SMC-registered psychiatrist, selected outpatient sessions may be claimable under the Chronic Disease Management Programme (CDMP), which covers certain mental health conditions and allows MediSave withdrawal of up to S$500–700 per year under the outpatient limits. Psychological assessments performed within a MOH-licensed clinic setting may also be partially claimable depending on the IP's terms. If the practitioners are psychologists rather than medical doctors, MediSave is generally not applicable and most IP policies do not cover standalone psychology sessions. Confirm the practitioner's registration type with the centre, then check with your insurer before the appointment to understand what, if anything, can be claimed. Request a written financial estimate for any multi-session assessment before committing.
