Starting Therapy Can Feel Confusing
We've created this gathering to make those first steps a little easier. Meet local psychotherapists, get answers, and find someone you can vibe with in a cosy space.
100% of participation fees and donations go directly to the causeWelcome to Nice to Know You(rself)
We are two friends passionate about psychology and event organization, driven by a simple yet necessary mission: to bridge the gap between people and trusted mental health professionals. Living in a fast-paced world, finding the right therapist can often feel confusing and hard. We created this initiative to build an accessible and welcoming space where real connections can happen, helping you navigate your mental health journey with ease and confidence.
The name Nice to Know You(rself) reflects the two core pillars of everything we do. On one hand, it highlights the networking side of our event: a friendly, open space to meet therapists, ask questions, and say a genuine "nice to know you." On the other hand, it is a reminder that this journey is ultimately for yourself. Every discussion and connection is an opportunity to look inward, learn more about who you are, and invest in your own personal growth.
A relaxed space where
conversations can unfold naturally.
How do you choose a therapist? What kind of therapy is right for you? What actually happens in a session? And how can you know whether someone is the right fit before committing?
This event is designed to make those first steps a little easier.
Join us and meet a range of local psychotherapists, ask questions, and have real conversations in an informal setting.
No Pressure, No Obligations
Meet one therapist or several, spend longer with some and less with others. No obligation, just a real sense of what works for you.
Qualified Psychotherapists
Meet practising psychotherapists from different training backgrounds and therapeutic approaches, all in one welcoming space.
Warm & Welcoming
We'll have tea, coffee, and seasonal treats waiting for you, in a cosy space where conversations can unfold naturally.

The relationship is everything
Research consistently shows that the therapeutic relationship is one of the strongest predictors of successful therapy. Qualifications matter, but so does chemistry. Finding someone you genuinely feel at ease with can make all the difference, and that's difficult to judge from a website or profile picture alone.
A glimpse of who's joining
Real practitioners, real conversations. Each one brings something different to the room.
