A space to share and be heard.
MELBOURNE • SYDNEY • BERLIN • COPENHAGEN
It's free for designers to register and join. Once you do, we'll add you to our global Slack community, where members get first dibs to ticket sales for our monthly share sessions.
Therapy for Designers is a global movement that brings creative minds together for real, in-person conversations about the emotional, mental, and professional challenges of design life.
We host in-person sessions that provide a space for designers to share work challenges, insights, and reflections as a group — developing stronger self-awareness, a growth mindset and leadership capabilities.
Together, we create a supportive community built on shared understanding.
Our principles
Share freely, listen fully
In a safe space, sharing your story isn’t just powerful - it’s transformative. Wherever you are in your design journey, your voice matters. These sessions are all about leaning into your own vulnerability, but also listening deeply with empathy.
Perspective from collective wisdom
We reframe challenges as opportunities to grow. By shifting the narrative, we turn struggles into catalysts for change. Through honest conversation, collaborative problem-solving, and shared experiences, we help lift each other up to move forward stronger.
Learn from community
Real growth begins with self-awareness and genuine connection. By listening to diverse voices, we grow as both designers and as people - expanding our soft skills to become better communicators, mentors, leaders and change makers.

Venue
We provide a comfortable and casual space where designers can feel welcome and at ease, avoiding the formalities of a work environment. This fosters a sense of openness, safety and community allowing for genuine human connection.
Food
Our sessions are always centred around sharing good quality food together. We are driven to partner with social enterprises to ensure we support other businesses with purpose making meaningful change.
Audience
We welcome all designers in any stage of their career who have a genuine desire to learn and contribute to the community.
“Therapy For Designers sessions have given me and quite a few others perspective and the vital reassurance that ‘It's not just me’.”
— Product Designer, Melbourne
