Abstract

In this paper, I will argue that the effectiveness of philosophical counselling as a therapeutic practice lies in the intentional cultivation of epistemic values within the client-practitioner relationship. At its heart, this process involves creating a space where truth-seeking is not merely an intellectual pursuit but a shared commitment—a collaborative journey marked by courage, curiosity, and compassion. When practitioners nurture this commitment, they go beyond facilitating dialogue; they guide clients toward a deeper appreciation of the values that form the foundation of genuine understanding and personal growth.
