We’re Self Space, a contemporary mental health service offering a good conversation with a qualified person. We support individuals and some of the most progressive, industry-leading global companies to reach their potential.

• Keep the edge: Be bold. Disrupt and challenge the norm, but with love.
• Look after you: We take care of ourselves seriously as someone we love.
• Grit: Perseverance and passion. We know what it takes to shift culture.
• Our values shape how we work, how we lead, and what we desire from anyone who joins us. If this sounds like the kind of environment where you'd thrive, we’d love to meet you.
