Therapy is for healing and healing is about becoming whole, becoming and growing as the person we are really able to be. 

The guiding lights for the therapy we practise in the centre are RD Laing and Carl Rogers ;  the one for his belief that, given an appropriate environment, our minds, in the distress that they can cause us, can usually heal themselves ; the other for defining the way one human being should be towards another in order for the relationship to be therapeutic.  This is the basis for the person-centred approach to counselling and therapy.

So we aim for your whole experience at Le Sentier Tranquille to be therapeutic and we believe that the gentle flow of life… eating, talking, relaxing, walking… will be nourishing.  But we can also offer counselling if that is what you wish.  If you want to read more about the person-centred approach to counselling, you can visit life-counselling, where I explain my own approach and philosophy.

The charge for arranged counselling is €30 per session of about one hour.  On site it would be with myself, a senior accredited practitioner with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.  For anyone who would prefer a female counsellor, I would make arrangements with a colleague of mine in the area who is also a person-centred counsellor.
