The rooms at Healing Therapy Centre are quiet in a way that feels intentional, not empty. Soft light filtered through sheer curtains, turning the air a pale gold. It isn’t bright enough to intrude, only enough to gently reveal—like the space itself understood that healing doesn’t happen under harsh glare.
A low hum of calm seemed to live in the walls. Perhaps it is the distant sound of wind brushing against the building, or the faint echo of footsteps far down the corridor. Whatever it is, it never distracts. It simply reminds you that the world outside still exists, even as you step away from it.
The furnishings are simple but carefully chosen. A wide, comfortable chair, sitting at an angle—not confrontational, not distant, just open. Across from it, another seat wait, equal in presence. Between them, a small table held a glass jug of water and two cups, untouched but inviting. Nothing in the room demands attention, yet everything has a purpose.
There is a scent too—something subtle. Not quite lavender, not quite cedar. It lingered just enough to soften the edges of thought, as if encouraging the mind to loosen its grip on whatever it carries inside.
On the walls hung pieces of art: abstract, flowing shapes in muted tones. You could look at it and see nothing, or everything. It doesn’t tell a story—it allows one.
Time behaves differently here. Minutes stretch, not in boredom, but in permission. Silence isn’t awkward; it is spacious. Words, when they come, feel less rushed, less guarded. Even breathing seems to deepen, as though the room itself has slowed your rhythm to match its own.
This is not just a place to sit. It is a place to arrive—fully, honestly, without performance. A place where the outside noise softened enough for something quieter, more important, to finally be heard.
And somehow, without ever speaking, the room seemed to say: you can stay as long as you need.

Tess Post – Mindfulness Tarot

One of the exercises in this month’s Breathe article is to notice what you are drawn to in a tarot card and ask, “How is this quality present in my life today?”

When I wrote this I drew the Queen of Cups and found myself thinking about cups. I’m staying in my family’s house in France, surrounded by my parents’ belongings. My mum loved pottery and cups, using them still makes me feel close to her, even though she died 20 years ago. She would have made a wonderful Queen of Cups.

I photographed some of her favourites and created a found collage card. Today I’m also sewing simple fabric window covers from old sheets, and I noticed how much attention I gave to recreating the fabric behind the Queen in the card.

So today, cups and fabric are what I am taking from the card .

We now have four therapy rooms available, including two newly designed spaces created especially for talking therapies. Warm lighting, original art, mid-century touches and a calm professional atmosphere make them feel grounded, welcoming and a little bit special.

Alongside these are our adaptable dual-purpose rooms for counselling, psychotherapy, bodywork and integrative practice.

We’d love to show you around.

Tess Post- Tarot as mindfulness.
The Ace of swords

It’s interesting making these collages because they are so different from my usual soft-eye work, where I look through magazines intuitively. This feels more like putting together a difficult jigsaw. I need to find the right elements, make them work together and keep the designs connected so they still feel like a set.

I also found myself needing to reframe the sword imagery because of all the violence in the world at the moment. What do you think of me using a leg rather than a sword?

The Ace of Swords speaks of truth, breakthrough and sharp thought. A new way of seeing appears and with it comes strength and understanding. Clarity is powerful. It can heal or wound depending on how it is used.

At the Healing Therapy Centre, the idea of a private practice is not something you have to build alone—it’s something you step into and begin shaping from day one.
You arrive in the morning, and the building is already quietly alive with possibility. Doors are closed, but not sealed away. Rooms are waiting, not empty in the abstract sense, but prepared in the practical one—ready for the work that requires presence, confidentiality, and care.
A therapist enters a room and pauses for a moment before the day begins. This pause is familiar. It is the threshold between personal life and professional presence. Inside, the space is calm enough that the transition feels natural, almost unspoken. There is no need to adapt yourself to chaos or distraction. The room has already done the work of creating steadiness.
This is what a private practice needs at its core: a place where your way of working can exist without interruption.
As clients begin to arrive, the rhythm of the day takes shape. Each session is its own contained world. The door closes, and with it, the outside noise falls away. What remains is focused, intentional, and held within clear boundaries. You are not managing the environment—you are working within one that supports you.
Some sessions are quiet and reflective. Others are more complex, layered, and emotionally charged. The room holds them all without distinction. It does not remember in a way that weighs you down, nor does it intrude on what comes next. Each new session begins fresh, with space to meet the person in front of you fully.
Between clients, there is time to reset. Not just physically, but internally. A moment to breathe, to note what has passed, and to prepare for what is coming. This rhythm matters in private practice—the ability to sustain depth of work without depletion. The environment here supports that rhythm rather than competing with it.
What becomes clear over time is that this is not just about having a room. It is about having continuity. A place where your practice can grow steadily, where relationships with clients can deepen over time, and where your professional identity is held within a stable, respectful setting.
At the Healing Therapy Centre, you are not fitting your work into a temporary arrangement. You are establishing something that belongs to you—supported by a space designed to respect the nature of therapeutic practice.
There is no need to compromise on privacy, on calm, or on the integrity of the work you do. The structure is already in place. The environment is already attuned to what therapy requires.
And so the invitation is simple.
Bring your practice. Bring your clients. Bring your way of working.
The rooms are ready to become part of it.

Tess Post - Tarot as mindfulness
The judgement
The card shows an angel blowing a trumpet from the clouds above three figures, with hills in the distance.

Judgement speaks of awakening, endings, and new beginnings. It asks us to face ourselves honestly — our fears, flaws, and strengths — so we can move forward with greater freedom and self-acceptance. It is a time for clarity, reflection, and compassionate truth. I am not feeling any particular association with this today - but I did love trying to find an away of making an image that resonated with me.

At the Healing Therapy Centre, the rooms are more than quiet places to sit—they are spaces where connection begins, gently and without force.
A therapist arrives first, placing their bag down, taking in the familiar calm. Soon after, a coach steps through another door, nodding in quiet recognition. There’s no rush here, no sense of competition or separation—just a shared understanding that each person who works within these walls is part of something larger: a community built around supporting others.
The rooms themselves seem to encourage this. Doors open and close throughout the day, but the atmosphere remains steady, welcoming. Between sessions, there are small moments—passing in the hallway, a brief conversation over tea, a shared glance that says, “I understand the work you do.” It’s subtle, but meaningful. Connection doesn’t need to be loud to be real.
Inside each room, something similar unfolds. A client sits, perhaps unsure at first. You take your place—not as an authority, but as a guide. The space does its quiet work, softening the distance between two people. Words come, or sometimes they don’t. Either way, the connection begins to take shape.
For coaches, it might look like clarity emerging from uncertainty. For therapists, it might be the slow building of trust. Different approaches, different paths—but all held within an environment that respects the process.
What makes this place distinct isn’t just the design of the rooms, but the way they bring people together. Independent practitioners, each with their own style and philosophy, work side by side without losing their individuality. There is space here to collaborate, to refer, to learn from one another—if and when it feels right.
At the end of the day, the rooms grow quiet again. But something remains—not just the echo of conversations, but the sense of connection that has been built, moment by moment, session by session.
For therapists and coaches looking for more than just a place to work—for those seeking a space where both client relationships and professional connections can develop naturally—the Healing Therapy Centre offers exactly that.
A place to practise.
A place to connect.
A place to be part of something quietly meaningful.

The rooms at Healing Therapy Centre are designed for connection. Soft lighting, gentle colours and chairs curved towards one another create a space that feels calm, welcoming and quietly supportive.

There is no pressure here. No need for perfect words. Just space to pause, reflect, speak, listen and be fully present. Sometimes healing begins in conversation. Sometimes it begins in silence.

These rooms hold both.

Tess Post - Cavalier D’Epee

This card is the Knight of Swords. It shows a knight in armour riding a horse at speed. Finding a horse picture in my magazines was tricky, especially one running side on, so I had fun creating my own version and decorating the rider with pink flowers to suggest the armour.

Those in the know may recognise the sword as one of the pillars of the Millau Viaduct…

Cavalier D’épée is a card of speed, ideas and determination. You may feel driven to rush into something new and push past any obstacle in your way.

But moving too quickly can mean missing details or only dealing with things on the surface. Not everyone around you may be ready to move at the same pace either. I find that I definitely have to hold myself back or I can rush into things driven by my emotions what about you?

This card also reflects a sharp mind, strong communication and the sharing of ideas and perspectives.
