Frazzled Cafe meetings provide a ‘talk-in’ place where people who are feeling frazzled can meet to talk and share their personal stories in a safe environment - a place where it's ok to not be ok. Led by Frazzled Cafe Founder and Patron Ruby Wax OBE, this interactive session will provide a safe, confidential and non-judgemental environment where people who are feeling overwhelmed by the stresses of modern life can meet to talk and share their personal stories.

Ruby Wax OBE
“We live in a time where to have a life crammed to the hilt is considered a success story. But with all this pressure, so many of us have nowhere to go to meet and talk about it. Frazzled Cafe is about people coming together to share their stories, calmly sitting together, stating their case and feeling validated as a result. Feeling heard, to me, has always been half the cure.”
— RUBY WAX, OBE
