Work independently—without doing it all alone

As a coach or therapist, it can often feel like you’re on your own. Finding a professional workspace—and peers to connect and exchange ideas with—isn’t always easy.

Emilie Sporre-Koppius (Co-Founder Stories & Psychologist): “I discovered how challenging it is to run a practice without the right support. That insight led to Stories — a place that offers everything I once wished I had.”

Stories is more than just a workspace. It’s a welcoming community of like-minded professionals who understand the unique challenges of working in mental health and personal development.
