Counseling

Philosophical counseling (also known as philosophical consultancy or practice) is a unique and deeply inspiring method for personal development and problem-solving. Rooted in centuries of philosophical tradition, it combines the power of critical thinking, reflection, and dialogue to address life's challenges, dilemmas, and fundamental questions. Unlike psychotherapy, which primarily focuses on healing emotional wounds and maintaining mental health, philosophical counseling concentrates on seeking clarity of thought, ethical reasoning, and discovering deeper meaning in our experiences. It's an ideal path for those who wish to support their struggles and challenges by "standing on the shoulders of giants" of philosophical thought (Bernard of Chartres).

Some of the most common topics we can work on together:

  • Life Changes: Managing changes in career, relationships, or personal identity.
  • Ethical Dilemmas: Making decisions aligned with your core values.
  • Existential Questions: Addressing questions about purpose, meaning, and mortality.
  • Personal Growth: Developing self-awareness, resilience, and authenticity.
  • Philosophical Mentoring: Deepening understanding of philosophical ideas and their application in your life.

Consultations

Philosophical counseling sessions provide a space for deep conversation where we explore your most important questions, challenges, and choices together. Each session is a journey in search of meaning, where through carefully chosen questions and reflection, we aim to: identify and clarify your values and beliefs, address moral and ethical dilemmas in a conscious and thoughtful way, analyze hidden assumptions and thought patterns that influence your decisions, and explore fundamental existential issues such as life purpose, freedom, and the inevitability of change.

I customize each meeting to your individual needs. Whether you're facing a key decision, going through a difficult period of change, or simply seeking deeper understanding of yourself and the world around you, these sessions offer a calm and reflective space to tackle these challenges.

Consultations take place at regular times in 50-minute sessions.

If you're ready to explore your questions, challenges, or aspirations through the lens of philosophy, I invite you to get in touch. Together, we'll discover new perspectives, develop clarity of thought, and chart a path forward that aligns with your deepest values, spirituality, and goals.
