Self Space

Self Space

Perfect For

Anyone navigating life’s challenges—whether it’s stress, burnout, relationships, self-doubt, or just the need to talk things through with someone who truly listens.

Why You’ll Love It

Self Space is rewriting the rulebook on mental and emotional wellbeing. Think of it as a therapy studio for modern life—warm, welcoming, and refreshingly free from the clinical, impersonal feel of traditional therapy settings. Whether you need a one-off session or ongoing support, they make getting help as easy as grabbing a coffee (and honestly, just as essential).

What Makes It Special

  • No waiting lists – Book a session when you actually need it, not months down the line.

  • Flexible therapy – From in-person appointments from across its sites in London to online sessions from anywhere.

  • A modern, stigma-free approach – No judgment, just real conversations with expert therapists who get it.

The Story Behind It

Self Space was co-founded in 2018 by therapists Jodie Cariss and Chance Marshall. Frustrated by long wait times and clinical settings, they envisioned a more accessible and contemporary approach to mental health support. Starting from a small workshop in Shoreditch, they now plan to expand Self Space across the UK, offering a radically different way of accessing mental health support.

The If Lost Take

We love Self Space because it makes mental wellbeing as normal as physical wellbeing—like seeing a PT, but for your mind. It’s approachable, practical, and built for the way life actually works. If traditional therapy has ever felt intimidating, this is the alternative you’ve been looking for.

Something Else We Love

Self Space isn’t just about talking—it’s about making mental wellbeing part of everyday life. Their brilliantly designed merch does just that, from their book How to Grow Through What You Go Through (a straight-talking guide to navigating life’s ups and downs) to candles and tote bags stamped with reminders like “I’m a mess”—which, let’s be honest, we all feel at some point.

They also have one of the best mental health Instagram accounts out there. Expect refreshingly real, no-BS advice on everything from setting boundaries to handling burnout—plus the occasional reminder that you don’t have to “fix” yourself to be worthy.
