Philos is a Greek word for a deep, enduring connection — the kind that shapes who we become. The relationships we have with ourselves, with the people we love, and with our histories do that more profoundly than anything else. I chose it as the name for this practice because it reflects something I hold at the centre of how I work: that being genuinely understood by another person is what makes change possible. When that happens, people find their way back to themselves, to each other, and to what they want their relationships to look like.
