Jérôme Lecoq

Practicing philosopher

I have been practicing philosophical consultation since 2009. My method is Socratic: I question, I challenge, I put your thinking to the test. It is neither therapy, nor coaching, nor a sympathetic conversation. It is a rigorous exercise that aims to clarify your way of thinking, identify your presuppositions, and transform your relationship with yourself and the world.

Before philosophy, I worked in business for 15 years. This background allows me to understand the concrete realities of my clients — decision-making, commitment, relationship to power, pressure — without making it a subject of personal development.

Individual and group consultations. I work exclusively remotely, via video conference. Each session is video-recorded, and the work is based on a shared document created in real time—you leave with a concrete record of your thoughts after each consultation. I work in French and English.

My clients come with very different issues: difficulty making decisions, feelings of illegitimacy, loss of meaning, racing thoughts, conflicted relationships, a need for clarity. The common thread: they feel their way of thinking is holding them back and are looking for a demanding interlocutor, not an advisor.

Experience: Over 500 consultations and workshops conducted since 2009, in France and internationally — Russia, China, Taiwan, Mexico, Austria, Italy. I regularly work in higher education: coaching programs at HEC, Kedge Business School, Paris-Dauphine University, and INSEEC. I also work with companies of all sizes.

Master's degree in philosophy and completed doctoral thesis (University of Paris 8). Initial training in business school.

Publications: Philosophical Practice (Eyrolles, 2014) What if Socrates returned (Librinova, 2022) More than 300 articles on this blog.
