Philosophical Counseling

Welcome

Existence confronts us all with profound questions, difficult choices and bewildering dilemmas. Philosophical counseling is a process through which qualified philosopher and a client explore these perennial issues together as they pertain to world and self. The aim of this process is to help the client understand the reality he or she experiences, graspering it in its hitherto unconsidered aspects, or in helping the client to face a problem, make difficult choices or simply improve the quality of his or her life. By examining the thoughts and feelings underlying a specific situation, the client and the philosopher re-articulate reality together, try to identify the strengths and weaknesses of this re-articulation, thereby creating the conditions for a positive change.

Through a process of dialogue, in which we will both actively participate, I will assist you in understanding what direction you would like to give to your existence, what your goals could be and how to achieve them. Moreover, my primary purpose as a philosophical counselor is offer you a method of investigation and reflection on "reality", on your own world in continuous transformation. In other words, I will try to teach you philosophical skills that will allow you to solve future problems in an increasingly autonomous way.
