What is Existential Therapy?

Are you feeling lost, questioning the purpose of your life, or struggling to find meaning in everyday experiences? Existential psychotherapy can help you navigate these profound concerns and guide you towards a more fulfilling life.

Rooted in existential philosophy, this therapeutic approach addresses the fundamental questions of human existence, such as the search for meaning, freedom of choice, assuming responsibility and the experience of isolation. By confronting these existential concerns, individuals can gain greater clarity and live a more authentic life.

 
The benefits of Existential Therapy

In existential psychotherapy, you will explore the values, beliefs, and motivations that influence how you wish to live.

This process of self-exploration and sense-making allows you to confront life's uncertainties and embrace your freedom to make meaningful choices that align with your core values. You will develop a stronger sense of purpose and direction which in turn generates personal growth.

Existential therapy is not about dwelling on the past, but about empowering you to live fully in the present and create a future aligned with your true self. By fostering a sense of empowerment you will realise your freedom to take responsibility for their own lives.

 

The role of an Existential Therapist

An existential therapist plays a crucial role in guiding clients through their exploration of life's fundamental questions.

They offer a supportive and non-judgmental environment where individuals can openly discuss their anxieties, concerns and choices.

Through reflective dialogue and philosophical inquiry, existential therapists assist clients in confronting the realities of their current situation. By challenging individuals to explore alternative choices that feel too difficult or costly to action clients can see the impediments they are constructing in their own lives. The aim of existential therapy is not to help people live ‘the perfect life’ but to unlock the path towards each ‘individual’s perfect life’.
