Mind the Gap Connect

Bridging Minds
Nurturing Communities

Why Us?

We connect the left brain's logical thinking and the right brain's creativity through the seamless integration of psychoeducation and creative art therapy.

We provide psychoeducation (left brain) to empower individuals with a proactive and resilient approach to mental well-being.

Using creative art therapy interventions (right brain) provides an opportunity for emotional exploration facilitating personal transformation. We provide a safe space in our workshops for individuals to foster meaningful connections with others.

Beyond traditional methods, we firmly believe in the power of an integrative approach to well-being.

Currently, We Offer Our Support to These Communities

International Students

Moving to a new country can be overwhelming, and Mind the Gap Connect recognises the unique challenges faced by international students.

Our workshops address cultural adjustments, stress management, and interpersonal skills development to help you thrive in your academic and personal life.

Start-up Founders

Entrepreneurship is a journey filled with uncertainties and high-pressure situations.

Mind the Gap Connect empowers start-up founders with tools to enhance resilience, creativity, and emotional intelligence, giving you the mental edge needed to navigate the entrepreneurial landscape successfully.

We are eager to support more communities. Please contact us to explore how we can support you.

Our Journey

The beginning

Our journey began in 2018 when Meilia and Vineeta began their friendship when they met in university, studying for their Masters in Counselling. In 2020, they were invited to share their insights as both international students and mental health practitioners in a webinar.

This inspired them to create a change in the mental health community, where support for international students was still lacking. Thus, based on their lived experience and professional expertise, Mind the Gap Connect was created. Our successful launch of a pilot program in 2021 validated the need for our service in the community.

Our Growth

The founders joined a start-up program in 2022 to create a sustainable business. Having experienced the challenges of being a start-up entrepreneur, they decided to also create a safe space to support others navigating the entrepreneurial journey in late 2023.
