SELF SPACE SOCIAL
A gym for your mind, without the mirrors, and with better snacks.

We're not meant to do life alone. But sometimes, we do.
People are emotionally overloaded, time-poor and craving real connection.
But most support feels too clinical or rigid. Too removed from real life. Self Space Social is our answer.
A therapist-led, drop-in hub for feeling better, learning new ways of being, and connecting with others doing the same.
What's On
Whether you’re keen to grow, connect or simply hit pause on life’s relentless pace, we’ve got you.

What to expect?
Like a gym for your mind.
Join a community of curious, kind humans.
Drop in for talks, workshops, peer-to-peer support, creative sessions – or just a quiet moment.
No pressure. No judgement. Just tools, time, and connection.

For Individuals
A softer space to grow. A third place to rest and meet others.
No clipboards. No awkward silences. Just useful conversations, honest insight, and people who get it.
Come solo. Come curious.
Come as you are.

For Businesses
A drop-in hub your team will actually want to go to.
Therapist-led workshops, leadership programmes that cut through, and pay-per-place training that lands. Plus: a dedicated community for HR leaders and cultural changemakers.
Because the people putting others first need support too.

Why now?
Despite being more connected than ever, we’re The Lonely Generation.

This is that place.

Self Space Social FAQs

What is Self Space Social?
Self Space Social is the world’s first drop-in venue for mental maintenance. Think of it as a “gym for your mind” – a warm, high-street space where you can book pay-per-place workshops, talks, clubs and reflective sessions (and even private therapy rooms) without waiting lists or long-term commitments.
Who is it for?
Whether you’re juggling work pressures, navigating relationships, seeking community or simply curious about personal growth, Self Space Social is designed for emotionally curious adults of all backgrounds. We also offer bespoke pay-per-place workshops and off-sites for HR leaders and teams keen to support workplace wellbeing.

I’m an HR or People Leader – how can I involve my team?
We offer pay-per-place team workshops, leadership circles, off-site programmes and CPD-accredited “Tools for Leaders” sessions. Simply select the B2B options on our booking platform or contact our Partnerships team for a bespoke proposal.
Can I bring a friend or partner?
