About UnSelf CIC
We are a Community Interest Company based in Ribble Valley, Lancashire, created to help people rediscover who they are, build resilience, and find belonging through creativity and story. Life transitions — from motherhood, career change, loss, migration or the everyday pressures of work and family — can leave people feeling unseen or uncertain of their identity.
At UnSelf, we create safe, inclusive spaces where people can explore who they are beyond roles and labels, strengthen confidence, and connect with others on the same journey.
Our Mission – To tackle loneliness, loss of identity and digital exclusion by providing creative workshops, storytelling projects and community spaces that empower people to thrive.
Our Values
Inclusion – everyone deserves to feel seen, heard and valued.
Empowerment – helping people rediscover their strengths and voice.
Connection – building genuine community, both offline and online.
Our Approach
Alongside community arts projects like Cosy Stories and Resilience Circles, we’re developing interactive tools that explore identity and wellbeing in new ways. This includes creative workshops, online courses, a free identity quiz, and plans for a wellbeing app that blends reflection with connection — so anyone can start their journey with UnSelf, wherever they are.
Our Commitment – As an asset-locked CIC, all profits are reinvested into community and wellbeing projects. Every workshop, story session and digital resource we deliver directly supports people to reconnect, express themselves, and thrive.
About the Founder
UnSelf was founded by Nia Nair, a writer and identity coach based in Clitheroe, Lancashire.
As a single mum and creative professional, Nia understands how easy it is to lose your sense of self while caring for others or navigating major life changes. She created UnSelf CIC to help people reconnect with who they are — through creative storytelling, wellbeing workshops, and community projects that celebrate different voices and lived experiences.
