Existentialist Counselling

Why am I here? What is my purpose? Who am I? What's the point? These are the ‘big’ questions at the core of our lives, and they often emerge as we navigate a crisis, face our mortality, or arrive at a turning point in our lives.

Existentialism is a school of philosophy dating back to the 19th Century. Existentialist philosophers explore the emotional facts that we all have to face, such as our mortality and heavy choices about how to live our lives, which greatly influence our behaviour, personal relationships and sense of freedom. 

‘Freedom is what you do with what's been done to you.’ - Jean Paul Sartre

Existential counselling provides a constructive way to work through and face these difficult questions, as we all inevitably must do. By exploring the themes of mortality, personal meaning, freedom and responsibility, you’ll discover the impact these great forces are having on your behaviour and their place in the tensions you feel.

"It belongs to the imperfection of everything human that man can only attain his desire by passing through its opposite." 
- Soren Kierkegaard
