Summary/Abstract: This article sketches a conception of philosophical coaching – a new practical discipline offered at the University of Opole since 2016. In the first part of the essay, Plato’s ontology is considered through the lenses of process philosophy. Following this interpretation, Plato’s ontology becomes a kind of metaphysics of experience. The so-called „true Being” is not the realm of abstract realities. Rather, it refers to a kind of experience that discloses to us the real meaning of particular life situations, i.e.. their meaning viewed from the perspective of the Good. Plato’s philosophy turns out to be a logotherapy or spiritual practice, which consists in liberating the mind by diverting it from pathological pseudo- -meanings and directing it towards the Meaning. Finally, the last part of the article details the skills which students graduating in Philosophical Coaching should possess.
