Existential Therapy
Existential therapy is a philosophical approach to psychotherapy that explores the fundamental questions of human existence, such as meaning, freedom, responsibility and mortality. It helps individuals confront life’s uncertainties and develop a deeper understanding of themselves and their choices.
Existential therapy focuses on personal responsibility, self-awareness and authentic living. Instead of offering quick solutions, it encourages clients to explore their values, beliefs and life direction. Through reflection and dialogue, individuals gain clarity about their experiences and create a more meaningful path forward.
This therapy is suitable for anyone facing life transitions, loss, anxiety, depression or a sense of meaninglessness. It can also benefit people seeking personal growth or questioning their life’s purpose. Existential therapy welcomes diverse perspectives and is adaptable to each person’s unique journey.
Sessions involve open, thoughtful conversations about personal experiences, emotions and choices. The therapist helps clients explore their inner world without judgement, encouraging honesty and self-exploration. There is no set agenda; instead, the focus is on deepening awareness and making meaningful, empowered decisions.
