What is Bibliotherapy?

The perfect gift for book lovers, Bibliotherapy is a one-to-one service that allows us to curate you a list of books that will inspire, challenge and - in some cases - change you. A completely bespoke bookshop experience, you'll bring a few examples of the books you love and we'll research and curate a stack of books for you.

After filling out our reading interests survey and booking your appointment, you will join your Bibliotherapist in the shop for your session. Over as many teas or coffees as you can manage, you will initially have an informal, relaxed conversation about your favourite books and what you want from a new read. Your Bibliotherapist will then search the shelves for the perfect shortlist, before bringing them back to discuss with you and helping you choose which to take home!
