Mental Maintenance Made Easy
Take a Minute. Take 50
It ain’t (always) that deep
You’re not in crisis. You’re fine – just not fine-fine.
A 50-minute MOT could be the breather you didn’t know you needed.
Talk things through, untangle the mess, and leave with one or two things you can actually do about it.
We’ll stick the kettle on, shall we?
What you’ll get
A 50-minute chat with a qualified human might be all it takes to feel more like yourself again.
The MOT: Check-In gives you space to catch your breath, get things off your chest, and make sense of what it all means. Pop in for a good old natter, sift through the mind jumble, and leave with one or two things you can actually do about it.
50 minutes with a therapist who’s right for you. Don’t worry if you’re not sure — we’ll help you find them.
Space to slow down, say things out loud, and have a bit of a mental declutter. Like Marie Kondo for the mind.
A fresh perspective, a couple of next steps, and the sense that you might actually pull all this off.
No long-term commitment, no ten-step plan — just one good conversation to help you get back on track
Same-day bookings available — because life’s chaotic, and instant gratification is a vice we’ve not yet spoken to our therapist about.
A cosy space that’s confidential, kind, and completely yours. (We also have a really fancy coffee machine, FYI.)
Best for
No journalling. No mantras. No mood boards.
Just a mental spring clean – no rubber gloves required.
When you’re probably fine.
When you’re not having a crisis, per se — but also, a mild inconvenience could end with tears in Pret.
When sorting your shit out no longer feels like a solo project.
When your group chat’s gone quiet, your to-do list’s gone feral, and your inner voice is mostly static.
When you’ve got plenty to say and no idea where to start.
When you just need to talk to someone who won’t say, “But have you tried meditation?”
What Happens Next?
Call, click, or swing by the studio — we’ll take it from there.
You can do your session at the studio in person, at home in your pyjamas, or at the studio in your pyjamas — whatever works for you. No judgment here.
Your 50-minute, therapist-led Check-In sits somewhere between coaching, therapy, and a good old natter. You’ll pick apart what’s been bothering you, call out what’s getting in your way, and leave with one or two things that might make life feel a bit lighter.
If you decide to keep going, we’re here to help you hatch a plan. If you don’t, no guilt — you’ve still done something brave and brilliant for yourself.
FAQs
Is this therapy?
Not exactly. It’s therapy-adjacent — a mix of conversation, reflection, and practical next steps. Think of it as a warm-up, not the whole race.
Who’s it for?
Anyone who’s feeling a bit stuck, overloaded, or just curious about what talking to someone might help untangle. You don’t have to be in crisis to check in.
Who’s it not for?
If you’re in real distress or need urgent support, this probably isn’t the right space — but we can help you find one that is. For everyone else, think of it like an MOT. You don’t wait for your car to fall apart before booking one — the same rules apply here. A quick check-in keeps things running smoothly.
Can I use my employer credits?
Yes. If your company partners with Self Space, you can use your credits at checkout. (If you’re not sure, ask HR — or send us an email.)
Can I reschedule?
Of course. We get it — life happens. Just give us at least 24 hours’ notice and we’ll find a new time.
Is it confidential?
Completely. What you share stays between you and your therapist. Always.
How do I pick the right therapist?
Go with your gut — and if your gut’s a bit wobbly, our matching service can help you find someone who fits.
