UK – Self Space, the UK’s first on-demand mental health centre, is turning therapy into a community pursuit. Striving to eliminate the barriers that prevent access to mental health support, its new sites in London and Manchester will make therapy ‘as everyday as going to the gym, getting a haircut or grabbing a coffee’, explains Jodie Cariss, founder of Self Service.
Open seven days a week, Self Space does not require lengthy consultations, strict appointments or waiting lists. The company offers same-day bookings and speedy access to qualified professionals, something that is rarely seen in the conventional therapy industry. The space will also serve as a location for workshops and group sessions, as well as a gathering space for like-minded people in the local community.
We've been tracking the evolution of Self Space since 2019, when the emerging wellbeing brand pioneered a new approach to Modern Therapy.
