Existential psychotherapy draws upon philosophical writing that shares a concern with existence and how to live and manage your life with authenticity, courage, and responsibility. This is made possible by getting a clearer understanding of your beliefs and values, drawing upon your strengths in order to deal with present challenges and future situations. Uniqueness of individual experience and the intelligibility of problems are valued over formulaic assumptions, categorising or labelling. The past is meaningful in that new understanding may be found through an examination of life experiences and how they may appear from the point of view of the present. Thus the potential for possibilities and human growth lie in the present and the future. I bring a combination of philosophical and psychological perspectives which provide a focus that is grounded and accessible, seeking to get closer to the lived and felt experience of each individual. An important aspect in my work is about engaging with the experiential ‘felt meaning’ that allows the therapeutic encounter to follow its own map with sensitivity and direction.
