You are not alone in seeking greater purpose in life. Some have suggested that in our time, we are experiencing a "meaning crisis." Our purpose may be hidden in plain sight: everyday experiences of relationship and career, community and culture, grief and longing. We feel stuck in the stresses of a fast-paced modern life: making a living, digital technology and screen time. We need to carve out time and space for reflection on priorities, to get clear on what's really important and what's getting in the way of living well. As Carl Jung once said, "Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart."
Viktor Frankl writes: "If there is a meaning in life at all, then there must be meaning in suffering." No matter what you are going through, we can explore how to honour it as part of your journey. We can examine how thoughts and habits are serving you or not, and learn psycho-spiritual practices to regularly connect with your deepest inner wisdom.
I promise to always be curious about your path, and to provide an atmosphere of unconditional positive regard for deep explorations of your mind and purpose. Fit is important in counselling. If my approach speaks to you, please reach out for a free, no-obligation consultation and we can explore your needs further. I wish you peace on your journey.
