Abstract
The impact of Philosophical Counseling has been demonstrated in various fields since its conception back in the seventies. In this research, we present the results of applying Philosophical Counseling in schools in Spain, the leading country in adopting this method after observing its benefits in other areas. The findings reveal that young adults not only value this approach for empowering and helping them independently address their own challenges—such as classroom misbehavior, bullying prevention, a strong sense of caring for each other and the environment, and fostering a sense of belonging where everyone is equally accepted—but also that teachers perceive students as capable young adults. By addressing abusive behaviors early, it prevents them from escalating and having a more profound impact, unlike other forms of counseling that have shown limitations in managing such issues.
