Existential Therapy
When life raises questions without easy answers
A loss, a change in circumstances or a difficult decision can unsettle your sense of who you are and where you belong. You may find yourself asking what matters, how you want to live, or how to face something you cannot control. These questions can also arise during an ordinary period of life, when the direction you have followed no longer feels clear.
Existential therapy explores your experience of being a person in the world. It considers themes such as meaning, choice, responsibility, connection, uncertainty and the limits of life. I would work with you to understand how these themes appear in your own circumstances. The conversation can make room for conflicting feelings and difficult realities while helping you consider the possibilities available to you. You do not need to be familiar with philosophy to take part.
BACP’s introduction to existential therapy explores these themes further.
