Here, we address your most important questions to ensure you feel confident and comfortable in choosing our service. From understanding our model to learning about our companions and the benefits you can expect, find all the answers you need right here.
What exactly is everyday companions?
Everyday Companions is a professional companionship service offering scheduled, one-to-one time for conversation, shared activities, or quiet company. It’s designed for people who want human connection without the pressure of dating, therapy, or social performance.
Is this a therapy or mental health service?
No. Everyday Companions is not therapy, counselling, or coaching. We don’t diagnose, treat, or offer clinical support. Our role is to provide presence, conversation, and company — not advice or psychological care. If someone needs mental health support, we encourage seeking a qualified professional.
Is this a dating or romantic service?
No. There is no romantic, sexual, or dating component. This service is strictly platonic and professional. Clear boundaries are part of what makes it feel safe and comfortable for clients.
Who uses everyday companions?
Our clients include busy professionals feeling isolated, remote workers missing regular human interaction, newcomers to London, people going through life transitions, and anyone who wants company without expectation or obligation. You don’t need to be “lonely enough” to use the service — you just need to value human connection.
What happens during a session?
That’s up to you. Sessions might include talking over coffee, walking around your neighbourhood, visiting a museum or gallery, sitting quietly while working or reading, or casual, everyday conversation. There’s no required agenda and no pressure to open up.
Where do sessions take place?
In-person sessions take place in public spaces such as cafés, parks, galleries, or similar venues in Kensington, London. We also offer phone and video sessions for clients who prefer remote connection.
How long are sessions?
Sessions are typically 60 minutes, with options for longer bookings if agreed in advance. Weekly subscriptions are available for clients who want consistency.
Do i have to commit long-term?
Weekly subscriptions run on a monthly basis and can be cancelled with notice. One-off sessions are also available if you’d like to try the service first to see how it feels.
How to get started with everyday companions: step 1
Choose how you’d like to connect. Visit our booking page (or see our Pricing & Packages page) and select either an in-person session (public spaces), or a phone or video session. You can choose a one-off session or a weekly subscription.
How to get started with everyday companions: step 2
Pick a time that works for you. Select a date and time from our available schedule. Evenings and weekends are available, subject to availability.
How much does it cost?
Pricing depends on session type and format. Weekly subscriptions offer better value than one-off bookings. Full pricing is available on our Pricing & Packages page, with no hidden fees.
Are conversations confidential?
Yes. Discretion and respect are core values of Everyday Companions. While this isn’t a clinical confidentiality arrangement, companions treat all conversations with care and professionalism.
What boundaries are in place?
Clear boundaries protect both clients and companions. Everyday Companions does not provide therapy or medical advice, romantic or sexual interaction, or financial, legal, or life coaching advice. All sessions are conducted respectfully and professionally.
Is this service right for me?
Everyday Companions is a good fit if you want company without pressure, value consistency and reliability, prefer calm, judgement-free conversation, and are comfortable with clear boundaries. If you’re looking for therapy, dating, or crisis support, this service may not be the right fit — and we’ll always encourage appropriate alternatives.
How do i get started?
You can book a one-off session or choose a weekly subscription through our website. If you’re unsure, many clients start with a single session to see how it feels. For a detailed guide, visit our How It Works page.

Share a few basic preferences. Before your first session, you’ll be asked a few simple questions, such as in-person or remote preference, conversation, walking, or quiet company, and any accessibility or comfort considerations. There’s no need to explain your life story.
