Logotherapist Anne Ilmoni: “Logotherapy gave me a profession that lets me help others”

Anne Ilmoni is a logotherapist (LTI®, LIF®) who was inspired to study meaningful life and ended up helping others.

Logotherapy is a spiritual, meaning-centred psychology and philosophy developed by Viktor E. Frankl, a Viennese doctor of neurology and philosophy.

The basic studies in logotherapy are suitable for anyone, regardless of age, who is interested in personal growth, recognising the essential building blocks of life, learning to encounter others with respect and finding and using their own resources.

Anne Ilmoni was originally inspired by the ideas of Viktor E. Frankl, the neurologist and psychiatrist who developed logotherapy.

“Frankl’s ideas were very much like my own thoughts. That inspired me to study.”

Anne qualified as a logotherapist in 2019 after studying for four and a half years.

“From the very beginning, I intended to use logotherapy in my life and make it my profession. Already during my studies, I was able to practise everything I learnt in practice.”

Logotherapy differs from other forms of therapy because of its view of human beings and the meaningfulness of life.

“Logotherapy is based on the assumption that life always has meaning. The way of thinking in logotherapy comforts us. Its methods teach us and give us strength to cope with life’s challenges.”

Anne’s biggest insight during her studies was feeling that she had found the building blocks for helping other people.

“I have always been curious and looked for different paths into people’s inner landscapes. I want answers to how I can best help people with their challenges. Logotherapy helps me understand how I can best help others.”

Today, Anne has her own company, Logoterapia Nyt, and also works weekly as a logotherapist at Väestöliitto, the Family Federation of Finland.

“My clients come from all walks of life. Logotherapy is generally ‘a therapy of hope’. I never send a client away with a problem, but rather with hope.”
