Philosophical Counseling
Philosophical counseling is as old as the first humans who drew on their wisdom to listen sympathetically to others and offer useful, supportive, or guiding words. Father to son, mother to daughter, friend to friend: these were probably the first forms of counseling, the first scenes in which one human being used words to help another.
Our interpretation of life is shaped by our ideas, beliefs, values, stories and worldviews. In different ways and for different reasons, any one of these can become a source of trouble, causing one to suffer or fail to live well. Briefly speaking, philosophical counseling is the use of philosophical ideas, skills and virtues to ease suffering from the problems of everyday life.
My work with people centers on problems of meaning, religious conflicts, love and relationships, self-development, creative blocks, death and its mysteries, and the complications of living brought on by anxiety & depression. If I don't think I can be of any use, I will say so.
