In my practice as a philosophical practitioner, I offer guidance in navigating life’s complexities through the lens of centuries-old philosophical wisdom. With a strong educational foundation, including a Bachelor’s degree in Philosophy and Ancient History from Macquarie University and a Master’s degree in Ethics and Political Philosophy from Leiden University, I bring a rich academic background to my practice. Additionally, as a qualified RYT 200 Yoga Alliance Yoga Teacher, I also integrate Eastern philosophical traditions to provide clients with a holistic framework for self-exploration and personal growth.
I address a wide range of practical, existential, and ethical concerns, including dilemmas and decision-making, personal development, purpose, identity, existential crises, authenticity, values, beliefs, and moral dilemmas. I am especially interested in working with grief, aging, change, (chronic) illness, and loneliness. Through introspection and critical reflection, I guide clients in confronting and exploring their beliefs and values in a supportive and intellectually stimulating environment.
Drawing from my experience as an educator, I facilitate transformative philosophical dialogues through client-led collaborative inquiry and Socratic questioning. I believe that moments of perceived crises and uncertainty can present opportunities for profound personal growth and understanding of self, echoing the sentiment of Sun Tzu: “In the midst of chaos, there is also opportunity.”
At its core, philosophy is an activity as much, if not more, than it is an academic discipline. If you wish to dive deeper and engage with great thinkers of the last millennia, then embark on your journey of philosophical exploration with me. The pursuit of wisdom and self-awareness is at the heart of personal transformation.
