Existential therapy focuses on developing a greater awareness of a person’s choices in the present and ultimately, in the future.
Existential therapy believes that our anxiety and depression comes from very deep-rooted doubts we have about the role we have in our lives and what our purpose is.
A key point of Existential therapy is that it focuses on the responsibility you have for your own life. By looking at your internal thoughts, rather than external factors such as relationships, you will learn more about the consequences of your choices. Existential therapy can therefore be a very empowering therapy and add real meaning and value to your life.
Clients report positive and lasting results from seeing therapists trained within the existential paradigm. These can include improved self esteem and self confidence, better relationships in the family and at work.
