OFF BEAT COMMUNITY HUB
The Off Beat Community Hub is the room I practice from, based in Farnham, Surrey. It was established in May 2025, responding to a need for sanctuary and stability in the communities I serve. The space is available to sublet on an hourly or full/partial day basis, suitable for therapists seeing clients, small (and quiet) gatherings, or even those who work from home but want a secluded office space with a range of seating options.

The vision
*Please note photos here show the room brand new, without artwork and other finishing touches - new photos will be uploaded to reflect the space as it evolves*
While the room is open to everyone and I see clients of all identities here, it decorated in a way that’s reflective of my work with the LGBTQ+ community. With the decor, I have emulated elements of queer history and culture. My initial starting point was the living rooms and bedrooms I spent time in as a trans teenager and activist; think comfy sofas, space for lots of people and pride flags on the wall, which is represented through the soft furnishings, artwork, pops of colour and ‘community corner’. I also wanted it to be elevated and suitable as a therapy space, hence the mid-century furniture and leather chairs. My clients also deserve a bit of luxury so I took inspiration from Victorian Molly Houses; early iterations of gay venues with hints of feminine charm and luxurious textures.
This space won’t be for everyone, but it will mean a lot to those who resonate with it.
About the space
The room is set up for therapy, consisting of a three-seater sofa and matching armchair. There is a desk in front of the window with the option of a Pipersong meditation/cross legged chair, plus a standard office chair option. There will also soon be beanbags and floor cushions, offering a variety of seating options.
'Community Corner' contains snacks, drinks, a water dispenser, a community noticeboard and a free pantry/library. Art supplies and creative materials are available for use, as well as a library of books.
Available to sublet
The room is available to sublet on an hourly basis, or by the partial/full day, suitable for:
Counsellors/therapists: the space is set up with therapy in mind, offering ample space and a range of resources to carry out creative sessions.
Home workers: perfect as an alternative option for workers looking for a private, neurodivergent friendly workspace with plenty of varied seating options.
Community organisations: a space to conduct small meetings.
Please note that as the building houses other therapists, all activities carried out within the space must be quiet in nature. The room is also decorated in a way that is celebrative of the LGBTQ+ community. In order to protect myself and clients, the address is not advertised, but the building is a 10-15 minute walk from Farnham station, with car parks nearby.
