Space To Be You

Discover Space to Be You, a welcoming therapy practice in Hackney, East London, offering counselling and psychotherapy for individuals, couples, families and children.

Perfect For

Finding someone to talk to when life feels difficult, overwhelming or simply not quite right. Space to Be You offers therapy and counselling for individuals, couples, families, and children, whether you’re navigating anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, uncertainty, family dynamics or a period of change.

Why You’ll Love It

Space to Be You is a welcoming modern therapy practice based in Hackney E8, East London. Rather than offering one particular kind of therapy, its team works across a range of approaches, including CBT, psychotherapy, person-centred and psychodynamic therapy, as well as more specialist support.

That choice matters when you’re not entirely sure what you need. You might arrive knowing exactly what you want help with, or simply with the feeling that something isn’t working anymore. The aim is to help you find the therapist and approach that feels right for you.

What Makes It Special

Space to Be You is London’s largest private therapy practice, with 20 thoughtfully designed therapy rooms across two floors in Hackney, creating a dedicated space in the city for people to talk, reflect and be supported.

There’s flexibility too. Alongside face-to-face sessions, the practice offers online psychotherapy and counselling, making it easier to find support that fits around your life, wherever you are.

The If Lost Take

Sometimes the hardest part of therapy is knowing where to begin. Do I really need help? Is what I’m going through “enough”? What kind of therapist do I need? And what if I don’t yet have the words for what’s going on?

We like Space to Be You because you don’t need to arrive with those answers. You can begin exactly where you are: anxious, disconnected, uncertain, overwhelmed, struggling in a relationship or simply aware that you don’t feel quite like yourself. With a large and varied team of therapists and different approaches available, there’s space to find the kind of support that works for you rather than trying to make yourself fit a particular model.

And perhaps the name says something important too. Therapy doesn’t always have to be about becoming a different or “better” version of yourself. Sometimes it can simply be a space where you don’t have to perform, cope, look after everyone else or pretend that everything is fine. A space to be you feels like a pretty good place to start.

Founder’s Story | Creating More Space for Therapy

Space to Be You grew from a belief that finding good therapy should feel more accessible, human and personal. Its Hackney home brings together a diverse community of therapists under one roof, with different areas of expertise, therapeutic approaches and ways of working.

That breadth means the practice can support people through many different stages and experiences of life, while still recognising that therapy is deeply individual. The right support isn’t necessarily the same for everyone; what matters is finding the person and approach that feel right for you.
