Existential Therapy

Existential therapy is a form of talking therapy that helps you explore questions you have about the meaning and purpose of life. It can help you make sense of difficult feelings, like anxiety and depression, by looking at them in a new way. In existential therapy, the therapist guides you as you explore your beliefs, values, and behaviors. They will encourage you to think differently, challenge your assumptions and make changes to your life. They do this in a supportive and safe environment, so you can find new perspectives and express your true self. Together, you and your therapist can develop a better understanding of life and find meaning in it.
