Philosophical Exploration as Therapy: Finding Meaning & Purpose
What is Philosophical Exploration Therapy?
Philosophical exploration as therapy invites individuals to engage in deep, meaningful conversations about existence, identity, and emotions. By reflecting on life’s biggest questions, individuals can uncover insights that support emotional and psychological healing.
The incorporation of Philosophy into my therapy practice is rooted in my belief that living authentically is essential for personal fulfilment and well-being. Throughout my studies in Philosophy, I've been engaged in exploring how individuals can lead lives that align with their true selves. Every individual has a Philosophy of Life and when we live our lives in a manner that contradicts our authentic nature, we can find ourselves stuck, unfulfilled, and lacking purpose. However, when we uncover and embrace our own personal philosophy, we can unlock our authenticity and live in alignment with our values, aspirations, and authentic Self.

My sessions integrate Philosophical Exploration to help you navigate your journey towards authenticity. Together, we explore questions such as: What does it mean to live authentically? How can we align our actions with our deepest values and beliefs? How can we navigate the tension between societal expectations and our own authentic desires and values?
My aim is to provide a space where you can explore and develop your own personal philosophy, empowering you to live more fully and authentically in every aspect of your life.
