If you’ve arrived here, you’re most likely looking for something about therapy or the person-centred approach or retreats and healing.  I’m Simon Cole, a counsellor and therapist-trainer for some twenty-five years. After working in England in different settings, for a long time within the NHS, I came to France to develop a centre for peace and tranquillity and healing through personal growth.  In this secluded corner of Ariège in south-west France, Le Sentier Tranquille fills that role.

 

On this site you will find a little about the person-centred approach to counselling and therapy, the way I work myself, what I offer in France and, through telephone and online counselling, outside France, as well as what I and others offer in the form of residential and counselling retreats at Le Sentier Tranquille.

 

I hope you find what you’re looking for here.  I shall be pleased to help you in your quest or explain anything which may not be clear.  You can contact me by email using the ‘contact’ button at the side, or my email address at the top of the page.  If you want to talk to me, email first and I will give you my number in France and, if you are in the UK, an ‘0844’ number which will get you straight through at a much reduced rate.  Please enjoy browsing...
