Welcome to our Therapy & Counselling Rooms
Elegantly styled and furnished, in a mid century neutral decor, our central St. Albans counselling rooms provide an ideal location from which to base your therapy practice.
Our counselling rooms are available to rent in five-hour blocks across three daily time slots: 7am to 12pm, 12.05pm to 5pm, and 5.05pm to 10pm, with the same block and time-slot available to you each week for a monthly fee. Morning and afternoon blocks are priced at £55 each, and evening blocks are £65 each, offering reliable, consistent access to your chosen room.
When you commit to a room at No. 8, it becomes your regular therapy space for that weekly block, available to you for as long as you wish. Rooms 1, 2 and 4 are available at a monthly rent of £229 for morning or afternoon blocks and £270 for evening blocks, offering a consistent, reliable base for your practice without the need to rebook each week. (We are closed over the Christmas and New Year period so we only charge for 50 weeks in the year).
Room 1
Room 1 is our second largest therapy room, measuring 10ft by 10ft and offering a bright, comfortable space for therapeutic work.
Located on the first floor, the room features an armchair and large three-seater sofa, making it well suited for individual sessions, as well as couples and family work. The mid-century décor, abstract artwork, and calm, neutral styling create a relaxed, grounding environment. With views onto Holywell Hill, Room 1 feels connected yet contained.
Morning & afternoon blocks are £55 (£11 per hour), evening blocks are £65 (£13 per hour).
Room 2
On the first floor of the building, this light & airy room, looks out onto the mature trees of the Vintry Garden, with the cathedral in the background.
With a double aspect this room feels fresh and peaceful, away from the bustle of Holywell Hill.
Just under 9ft square – Rooms 2 is ideal for one to one sessions. The room is also large enough to accommodate three armchairs for couples work.
Morning & afternoon blocks are £55 (£11 per hour), evening blocks are £65 (£13 per hour).
Room 3
Ideal for one to one sessions, couples work and small groups. At just over 14 ft square, this spacious room has a three seater sofa and two comfortable armchairs.
Additional seating can be provided for small groups. The outlook is onto Holywell Hill and the attractive 17th century buildings opposite. Secondary glazing over the original large sash window creates a quiet and peaceful environment in which to work.
Room 4
On the second floor of the building, this room also looks out onto the Vintry Garden and has a more commanding view of the Cathedral.
With dimensions of 10ft by 9ft, this room feels cosy enough for one to one sessions, yet also spacious enough for couples work.
With a calm and peaceful atmosphere and a delightful view of the Cathedral, Room 4 could be a wonderful place from which to base your practice.
Communal spaces
Our first-floor waiting area provides a calm, welcoming space for clients before sessions. With soft lighting and original artwork, it offers a quiet, comfortable environment to arrive and settle.
Kitchenette
Our kitchenette is a welcoming space for therapists to pause between sessions, with complimentary tea and coffee, a Nescafé pod machine with milk frother, and a fridge for storing refreshments. There’s also a little sweet treat on hand — mini flapjacks and brownies — perfect for a quick pick-me-up between sessions.
