Work with us
Join us at Studio 31
Welcome. We are a growing community of professional psychotherapists and counsellors. Our therapists’ wellbeing is at the heart of everything we do at Studio 31.
Studio 31 was set up by Sophie and Linds. We are therapists with creative backgrounds. We set out to create an inviting, characterful, and supportive therapy space in Central London where therapists and their clients can feel at home and inspired to do healing, creative therapeutic work.
We are conveniently within walking distance from Holborn, Chancery Lane, and Russell Square underground stations, plus central bus routes.
We have two rooms lovingly put together to be peaceful, comfortable, creative spaces to support therapists’ work. The Yellow Room and the Print Room.
Therapist Wellbeing
How we support therapists to thrive
Supporting therapists’ wellbeing is extremely important to us. We believe if therapists are thriving, they are better therapists. Here are some of the ways we actively help take some pressure off our therapists:
We all know breaks are really important but understand how hard it can be to budget for them. This is why we have calculated the monthly fees pro-rated for 48 weeks, giving therapists 4 weeks free a year.
Consultations and one-off rescheduling are invariably part of our work but can be a pain to organise and budget for. This is why we offer two ad-hoc single hour bookings a month free of charge.
We understand the leap of faith needed to take on a room before you have all the clients you need lined up. So to help take some of the stress out of setting up, we offer a 30% discount for the first two months to newly-qualified therapists.
Studio 31 Community
Nurturing peer support
Most seasoned therapists know how lonely therapy work can be. Having understanding peers is a vital part of supporting therapists. This is why actively nurturing our community is important to us. These are a few ways we actively do so:
We encourage and support a buddying up with peers in adjacent rooms for in-between session support and security. A few words and an understanding face are not to be underestimated!
We have a private WhatsApp group for Studio 31 members to connect, network, share resources and light-relief.
We organise social get-togethers throughout the year to let off steam together.
Referral Scheme
How we help grow your client base
We understand how difficult it is to balance the uncertainty of building a client base with investing in a space to practice from. We also know however well established you are as a therapist, there can be worrying times with few new enquiries. With this in mind, Studio 31 members have a profile listing on our website and are included in our marketing and promotional efforts. We have worked hard at optimising and promoting the Studio 31 directory so prospective clients can easily find our members. We also provide a therapist matching service for clients who are unsure how to go about choosing a therapist.
There is no additional cost to be listed on the Studio 31 directory or receive referrals. We simply ask therapists to offer the initial consultation free of charge.
Studio 31 membership
Online therapists
We know committing to in-person work can be a leap many therapists don’t feel ready to take. But many still want to enjoy the benefits of being part of a supportive community, a social network of like-minded therapists and a profile on a selective directory. For those therapists, we offer a Studio 31 membership for an annual fee of £XX. The membership includes:
Profile on the Studio 31 directory and inclusion in referral scheme
Access to book ad-hoc hour room bookings for one-off consultations or in-person sessions
Invitation to the private Studio 31 WhatsApp group
Invitations to all Studio social gatherings
