Our Story
Who We Are
Logos is led by three very different men who share some profound common ground. Simon, Jake, and Walid have each spent a lifetime exploring both the world and themselves in search of meaning and purpose. Between them, they have built a successful business in New York City, earned a PhD, won a BAFTA, climbed Everest, reached the North Pole, volunteered in East Africa, cycled across Pakistan, and perhaps most importantly - overcome countless personal challenges.
What draws them to the Logotherapeutic approach is that it offers no universal truths, but rather a lens through which each person can uncover their own answers to life’s difficult questions. Their combined experience as fathers, husbands, therapists, and citizens enables them to guide others on this search for meaning with both skill and empathy. None of them claims to have the answers, but together they help illuminate the path forward.
What We Do
Logos is a company that helps us all find our greater meaning in life. We have a curiosity about what makes life fulfilling for people in all moments, whether big or small. Our founders were inspired by Victor Frankl to make the search for meaning the central driving force in our existence. By searching for meaning in all of life’s activities, and by being responsible for the attitude we present, we make life more purposeful and fulfilling.
Our goal as an organisation is to provide various avenues for clients to find more meaning in their lives. We believe that the individual meaning itself is always independent and unique to the person and the situation, but the method for identifying that meaning is universal. By better identifying that meaning and sharing the process, we can all be more responsible for our individual actions and attitudes in trying to fu-fill that meaning.
Who is Victor Frankle?
Viktor Frankl was an Austrian neurologist, psychiatrist, and philosopher best known as the founder of logotherapy and as a Holocaust survivor. His experiences in Nazi concentration camps deeply influenced his work, leading him to write the best-selling book Man's Search for Meaning, which details his survival and the idea that finding meaning in life can help one endure extreme suffering. Logotherapy is a psychotherapeutic approach centered on finding a purpose in life, which Frankl developed as the "Third Viennese School of Psychotherapy".
What is LogoTherapy?
Logotherapy is a form of psychotherapy developed by Viktor Frankl that focuses on finding meaning in life as the primary human motivation. It helps people discover their purpose, even in difficult circumstances, and is based on the belief that humans have the freedom to choose their attitude and find meaning through their actions, experiences, or the way they face suffering. Logotherapy uses techniques like Socratic dialogue, paradoxical intention, and dereflection to guide patients toward this sense of meaning.
