Coaching

One on one conversations that support you in generating energy and living a meaningful, connected, and authentic existence.

What is Existential Coaching?

Existential coaching is a guided philosophical conversation that allows a person to explore their own identity, story, meaning and purpose. It is a process of self-reflection and discovery, with the aim of helping a person to gain a deeper understanding of their own identity and potential. The emphasis is on exploring existential questions such as ‘who am I?’ and ‘what is my purpose?’, and helping the individual move toward making meaningful choices and decisions. These conversations are especially useful when questions of meaning/purpose or experiences of uncertainty emerge often due to life events (planned or unplanned), changes in life rhythms (big or small), or reaching milestones in life.

What experiences, questions or topics can I bring to Existential Coaching?

  • Questions concerning what your life means, what to do with your life or why your life is worth living.

  • Feeling lost, stuck or experiencing an existential crisis.

  • Experiences for which you don't yet have a useful narrative or anything that doesn't make sense in your life.

  • Experiences of struggle that you want to be meaningful.

  • Situations that require you to make a decision.

  • Circumstances in which you are not quite sure how to communicate.

  • Living through an identity shift or experiences of identity erasure - interpersonal interactions or interactions with an institution/society.

  • Searching for authentic joy or fulfillment in any given situation.

  • Anything you need to talk about or would like someone else to know.
