What is philosophical consulting/counselling?

Philosophical consulting, sometimes known as philosophical counselling, uses the tools of philosophy to help people deal with the problems they face in life. Life is full of challenges, confusions and changes, and we often struggle to cope with them. A philosophical consultant can help in understanding and overcoming these difficulties.

Some of the issues that a philosophical consultant can assist with include:

  • A lack of meaning and purpose

  • Confusion about career/life direction

  • Ethical dilemmas

  • Job loss and problems with coworkers 

  • Friend and family feuds

  • Personal change and growth

  • Falling in or out of love

  • Becoming a parent

  • Breakups and divorce

  • Midlife, aging or end of life issues

  • Loss of a loved one

  • Eco-anxiety

  • And many more...

Philosophical consultants help people to unravel the underlying thinking behind a problem and find ways to remedy it through critical thinking, sound logic and practical wisdom. They can also assist anyone wishing to find more meaning and purpose in life and reach higher levels of happiness.
