A few useful things for people people
Free tools to help you see what’s going on, what it might be costing, and where to start.
A workplace can keep functioning while the people inside it are running low. The work still gets done, but with more strain, less energy and a growing cost that’s easy to miss.
Meanwhile, creativity is flat, managers are carrying half the company in their heads, and the cost of people not feeling well is quietly piling up.
We made these tools to help you get a clearer read on it. Use them to understand presenteeism, spot strain across teams and make better calls about the support you put in place.
Have a nose around. Share them with someone who needs them. Or use them to start the conversation everyone’s been skirting around.
Presenteeism Calculator
Our calculator tool that helps organisations quantify the productivity losses hidden inside their workforce.
Most companies focus on attrition and absenteeism; but presenteeism (employees present but underperforming) accounts for 54–77% of the total economic opportunity.
Input your headcount and average salary to estimate your organisation’s hidden productivity drag — and reframe workforce health from an HR cost to a strategic performance lever.
Hidden Cost Calculator
A 60-second calculator that reveals the true cost gap between what organisations spend on their EAP and what presenteeism is actually costing them. Input headcount, average salary, and sector and our tool does the rest, using McKinsey Health Institute and CIPD benchmarks.
You’ll received a personalised action plan with practical next steps.
Team Wellbeing Analytics
Surface hidden productivity risks before they become problems. A 60-second monthly check-in that turns invisible presenteeism signals into actionable insights for managers.
Score 5 markers per team each month, fast enough to do when you’re busy!
We’ll provide a visual dashboard and downloadable executive PDF reports that you can share with your leadership teams.
Cost of Burnout Calculator
It’s hard to put a number on a person quietly burning out. Or on the cost of silence, stress, or a team that’s running on empty. But the impact is real – and it’s showing up in sick days, turnover, presenteeism, and performance.
Our calculator helps you understand just how much impact this could be having on your business.

If you’d like a quote, we’d happily send one through. Please contact partnerships@theselfspace.com for more info. Likewise, you can use the form above!
Once you’ve partnered with us, your people accessing the service is the next step. We always kick off every partnership with a free launch talk which will signpost exactly where people need to go to get started. First, they’ll need to register using their company email, which they can do through our website. It can take up to 24 hours to link an employees account so we recommend registering right away so it’s there later if you need it. However, if you register and want to see a therapist right away email us on hey@theselfspace.com and we’ll link your account immediately. The next step is to book in for a session! Employees can head to our booking page when you’re ready to book in, remember to select the appointment type ‘Self In The City – Company Paid’. If they aren’t sure who to book with they can look on the team page or fill out the therapy match form.
The short answer is yes! We have partners who have clients spread worldwide. The slightly longer answer is that in order to work with international clients, there are a few safeguarding bits that need to be in place before the work can go ahead. If you’ve got a sales call booked in with us, we’d be happy to go over these with you. To find out more email partnerships@theselfspace.com
To support the international work, we’ve got therapists who are able to practice in the languages spoken below: English, French, Spanish, Italian, German, Dutch, Greek, Bulgarian, Farsi, Urdu, Punjabi, Hindi and Polish.
Trust is an integral part of a therapist-client relationship; therefore, all Self Space sessions will be kept confidential. However there might be certain circumstances where the therapist may have to consider breaking a client’s confidence for their own safety. This could be if there is a risk of immediate harm to the client or to another person. The therapist will explain how they work at your first Self Space session. In some situations, it might be necessary for therapists to share notes, for example if you see more than one therapist.
We currently have four physical spaces across London: Borough, Shoreditch, Soho, and King’s Cross, where therapists are available for face-to-face sessions. All our therapists also offer virtual sessions, ensuring support for those outside London or anyone who prefers online therapy from the comfort of their own home.
