Questions Worth Asking
It is neither. Coaching works with the identity you already have, and addresses performance. Therapy is a clinical discipline addressing suffering or dysfunction. The Sovereign Architect is a programme that guides you through a process of analysis, reflection, dissolution and reconstitution of your identity.
Yes — the programme is specifically built to enable this. If you are not sure whether it can fit around your work schedule, please discuss any concerns in your intro call.
Each session is four hours long, and held online. Sessions are carefully structured, drawing on a unique range of methodologies. Somatic practice is integrated throughout, and participants must commit to completing the intra-session work. Cohort discussion sessions are encouraged to understand the material, and each participant will also have three 1:1 progress sessions.
Our application questionnaire helps assess suitability. It matters that the participant is fully able to commit and do the work through to the end. This is discussed in the pre-sign-up meeting, once the confidential questionnaire has been submitted.
Our clients have a wide range of backgrounds. All have reached a level of maturity and success in conventional terms, but are asking questions about the future for which there are no easy answers. All sessions are completely confidential, and participants must agree to a code of conduct and ethics. You are welcome to put together a cohort yourself. Alternatively, if complete privacy is important to you, a one-to-one option is available subject to availability.
The work does not end at the final session. A 100-day integration plan is developed as part of the programme, to embed the changes you want to make. The cohort connection continues, and the Ontologica platform remains active.
A place in a cohort is £14,800 + VAT, with the next cohort starting September 2026. An individual, one-to-one option is available at £48,000 + VAT, by arrangement and subject to availability. Full details are set out on the Programme page. The investment decision is part of the programme; paying for something entirely about who you are rather than what you are doing is the first act of sovereignty, and an acknowledgement of self-worth.
Ontologica is unique — there is no other programme available similar to The Sovereign Architect. If you want to explore further, set up a no-obligation call to discuss the programme in more detail.
