Existential Therapy
|
Existential Therapy is a deeply reflective and philosophical approach to counselling that focuses on exploring life’s fundamental questions meaning, choice, freedom, and responsibility. Rather than relying on fixed techniques, it offers space for honest self-exploration, helping individuals live with greater awareness, authenticity, and purpose. |
This approach is particularly helpful for those navigating life transitions, questioning their direction, or seeking a deeper sense of meaning and connection in life.
The Philosophy Behind Existential Therapy
Rooted in the ideas of 19th and 20th century philosophers such as Søren Kierkegaard, Friedrich Nietzsche, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Gabriel Marcel, Existential Therapy challenges the idea of a predetermined destiny. Instead, it emphasises that each of us has the freedom, and responsibility, to create meaning in our own lives.
Clients are encouraged to confront essential aspects of being human, isolation, mortality, freedom, and choice, while examining how these experiences influence the way they live and relate to others. Through this process, individuals gain insight into their values, beliefs, and capacity to shape their own path.
