Join us for a free Open Day, a chance to explore Stillpoint Spaces London - a venue for the psychologically curious. Come snoop around our co-working space, attend a talk or seminar on the psychology of everyday life, and have a speed date with a therapist!
Here at Stillpoint Spaces London we believe that psychology isn’t something that should be locked up behind consulting room doors and university halls when it can be explored and enjoyed more widely. That’s why we chose the tagline, “Exploring psychology, in depth, inside and outside the consulting room.” At Stillpoint Spaces London we apply psychological ideas widely and in innovative ways through our psychological co-working space, “The Lab”, our variety of public events, our blog and international journal, and also through traditional psychotherapy and counselling.
On September 15th we are opening our doors widely so members of the public can see what we’re all about. You will have the opportunity to speed date a therapist, join a mini-event by listening to a short talk, or just explore our lovely co-working space custom built with psychology in mind. Our doors open from 2pm - 6pm and we invite you to come and go at your leisure, enjoy a cup of coffee, and enrich your psychological self. No ticket needed, just come along.
Our day will include:
Speed Dating Sessions:
3PM - 4PM: Session one with Tamara Abood, Alex Hegazy, Olivier Droillard and Marielle Albers.
5PM - 6PM: Session two with Alan Bordeville, , Helen Cordery, , Paul Christelis, Julie-anne Edwards, and Christina Moutsou. You can click on their names to check out their Stillpoint Spaces profiles before coming along to chat with them about their practices.

In addition, artist Karen Francesca will be installing Chthonic Commons at Stillpoint Spaces London, a collection of new works to mark the occasion of the Open Day. She will be on site throughout the afternoon to discuss her work with interested visitors, and talk about the way that the arts can be integrated into alternative spaces, helping us rethink our relationship to shared land and place.
