My name is Vladimir, and I’m the founder and director of Logotherapy Studio. I’ve been working as a psychotherapist and life coach for over a decade. Alongside that, I’m a trainer and supervisor in constructivist and existential therapy, and I also teach logotherapy, which is probably what brought you here. These three traditions (constructivist, existential, and logotherapeutic) don’t just happen to be meaning-centered. That’s the whole point for me. They all share a deep concern with how people make sense of their experience, and that’s exactly what draws me in.

What keeps me in this profession is something quite simple: I like listening to people’s stories. I like trying to understand how they see the world, how they’ve come to see it that way, and what might be possible if they saw it differently. That curiosity, about perspectives, narratives, meaning is the thread that runs through everything I do.

We live in strange times. Technology has brought astonishing changes and has transformed our lives in ways that we’re only beginning to comprehend, but the speed of those changes seems to outpace the speed at which we can absorb them and make sense of them. Our lives have moved online, and in the process, we’ve become increasingly distracted—not just by devices, but by the sheer volume of content that flashes in front of us. Kenneth Gergen once called this the saturated self, and it’s hard to think of a better phrase. In a world of constant updates and curated feeds, our attention is scattered, our sense of self stretched thin. We’re flooded with events yet starved for meaning.

Meaning-centered approaches offer something different. They don’t want to correct your thinking, they don’t call you irrational. They slow the pace, not because slowness is better in itself, but because understanding, real, lived understanding — takes time. They invite us to look inward, to examine the narratives we live by, and to imagine alternatives. They don’t promise certainty, but they do offer orientation. And in a world where disorientation has become the norm, that matters.

That’s why I do this work. Because helping people discover meaning is, for me, a more worthwhile endeavor than helping them become more efficient. Because I believe that a meaningful life is not something we find, but something we create by acting in a meaningful way and by taking a meaningful stance to those things that we can’t control. And because I think we could all use a little less optimization—and a little more reflection and meaningful action.
