Embracing diversity 

Studio 2B is a unique space in the heart of Stroud.  We have a creative group studio and a calm talking space that is used for counselling and mentoring.  This is an affirming space for individuals seeking the opportunity to be themselves in either the creative studio, or in a welcoming LGBTQIA+ counselling and creative mentoring 1-1 session or as part of a group. Founded by SJ Bolton-Locke as a project in 2020, that has now grown into its own service reaching more and more LGBTQIA+ people every day! We are proud to have the continued support from our main organisation, Essential Space CIC as we stand side by side supporting mental health and opening up opportunities for positive change.  This year we have moved into our own location in Stroud. Our mission is to provide empowering inclusive and bespoke services for adults and children, online and in-person throughout the UK.
