For Professionals
Join our CommunityThe Wellspring and Yew is welcoming applications from counsellors, coaches and therapeutic practitioners to join our growing community.
A place to put down roots
The Wellspring & Yew is a purpose-built therapy centre in the Cheshire countryside, just outside Nantwich. It was created for practitioners who want somewhere calm and professional to work, but who would also value being part of a small community.
Private practice can sometimes feel isolating. Although each of our practitioners works independently, there is reassurance in knowing who is working alongside you, people who understand the responsibility of therapeutic work and care about the environment in which it takes place.
We don’t want The Wellspring & Yew to become a building where people hire a room but never really know one another. Our hope is to create something steadier: a place where practitioners can establish themselves, get to know the centre and feel that they belong here.
Our community includes counsellors, psychotherapists and holistic practitioners working in different ways, but with a shared respect for their clients, one another and the work they have chosen to do.
Whether you are beginning to build a private practice or looking for somewhere you can settle for the longer term, we would be pleased to welcome you.
Joining our community
We know that every private practice looks a little different. You may be taking your first steps into independent work, gradually increasing your client hours or looking for a more permanent professional home.
For that reason, there are several ways to work from The Wellspring & Yew. These include regular weekly room allocations, longer-term residency opportunities and flexible ad hoc bookings, subject to availability.
We want to offer enough flexibility for practices of different shapes and sizes, while still allowing people to become familiar faces and feel part of the centre.
If you are unsure which arrangement would work best for you, please get in touch. We would be very happy to hear a little about your practice and talk through the available options with you.
Our spaces
The Wellspring & Yew has been designed to feel calm, comfortable and welcoming for practitioners and clients alike.
There are beautifully appointed therapy rooms for one-to-one work, as well as a spacious group room that can be used for workshops, training, reflective groups and community events. The centre also has peaceful outdoor spaces, comfortable communal areas and generous on-site parking.
We have paid attention to the things that make a working day feel easier: rooms in which you and your clients can settle, shared spaces where you can pause between sessions and surroundings that offer a little breathing room.
Ways of working...
You may be looking for a room you can use occasionally or somewhere that can become a regular base for your practice. We offer a range of options to accommodate different working patterns.
We would be happy to explain the current arrangements, availability and fees, and help you consider what might work best for you. There is no expectation that you will know which option you need before contacting us.
To find out more or arrange a visit, please get in touch.
Next steps
Choosing where to see your clients is an important decision. A room can look right in photographs, but it is difficult to know how it will feel to work there until you have spent some time in the space.
If you are interested in joining our practitioner community, we would love to invite you to visit The Wellspring & Yew, look around the centre and meet Siân. It will also give us an opportunity to hear about your work, what you are looking for in a professional home and whether the centre feels right for you.
We are allowing our community to grow gradually because it is important to us that the people working here feel comfortable with the values and atmosphere of the centre. It matters that the relationship feels right on both sides.

Group Supervision
Our Founder
Welcome to the Wellspring and Yew.
I’m Sian a counsellor and therapeutic practitioner with over 10 years practice experience and 5 years academic teaching experience.
Having worked across a diverse range of settings, I understand what therapists need to truly promote wellness and what clients need to heal.
After years of searching for the perfect home for my work, I have come to create The Wellspring and Yew. The therapeutic rooms and outdoor spaces have each been carefully considered and created, with the unique needs and preferences of practitioners in mind. Meticulous attention paid to every detail, from the ethically sourced, recycled fixtures and furnishings, to the people joining to deliver the practices mission to make high quality, deeply transformational, sustainable therapeutic practice accessible.
I am passionate about supporting the growth of private practitioners and cultivating communities for therapists to thrive personally and professionally.
My aim is to alleviate the isolation often experienced by private practitioners and strengthen our collective reputation, practice and voice by working in collaboration.
If the work being offered here is something you want to be a part of I would encourage you to book a tour soon. This is a unique opportunity to become a part of the space as it emerges, helping to shape the offering to fully meet the needs of our clients. I hope to greet you at the Wellspring and Yew soon to hear all about your practice and share more about the vision and values the space is going to deliver
