Linda DeLuca, The Existential Coach

a personal story

You may notice that I call myself The Existential Coach. Learn more about Existential Coaching here. But first a little about how I became an existential coach. After exploring coaching as a profession for over 15 years and searching for the right program, I attended an information session at local university. After about 10 minutes knew I had found what I needed…these were people just like me!

The decision to enroll in the program changed my life. During the course of my studies, I worked with many supportive and inspiring people. One was Ernesto Spinelli who introduced me to The Existential Approach to Coaching. I had found my philosophical approach for my coaching practice and the topic for my graduate thesis.

I knew one day I would start my own business and this was the catalyst for taking action. Existential psychology and literature continue to influence and inspire me to experience, learn, and grow in my life journey and in becoming the existential coach. This site is a place for me to share that continuing journey with you and hopefully, for you to share your ideas with me. We are, of course, all connected!
