ABOUT ME
My approach: psycho-philosophical counseling
Psycho-philosophical counseling is a blend of psychological support and philosophical inquiry, helping you explore life's fundamental questions and personal challenges through both therapeutic and philosophical lenses. I focus on existentialism as my core philosophical foundation.

Issues I Work With
If your issue is not on the list below, please contact me to explore working together anyway.
  • Finding Purpose
    Assisting those feeling lost, purposeless or questioning life's direction. As a symptom of existential crisis you may experience inner void, apathy, loss of meaning, inner restlessness and generalized anxiety.
  • Navigating Major Life Changes
    Supporting clients through significant transitions or crises. These may be significant birthdays, retirement, disease, divorce, becoming a parent - any event that significantly impacts your life.
  • Professional or Career Crisis
    Helping individuals manage burnout, professional dissatisfaction, or career shifts. A symptom of this may be longing for a change, but no clarity towards what, professional self-identity, impostor syndrome, self-worth.
  • Building a Life Aligned with Values
    Defining and connecting with your future-self, active life authoring, changing life scenarios, strategic life planning, goals and values.
Therapeutic Book Club
I lead a Therapeutic Book Club - a form of "soft" therapy through reading books. This is a transformative yet gentle way to explore higher self-awareness and personal growth through reading in a supportive group setting. The club is led by a practicing counselling psychologist. Together we will read and discuss powerful works that delve into psychological, philosophical, and existential themes such as: freedom, choice, responsibility, meaning, life and death.
