Existential therapy is a form of psychotherapy that focuses on how you experience life, the choices you make, and the meaning you give to your experiences.

Rather than diagnosing or trying to “fix” problems, existential therapy offers space to explore questions around identity, purpose, relationships, and uncertainty. It supports you in understanding yourself more deeply and living in a way that feels authentic and aligned with your values.

Existential therapy can be helpful if you are experiencing:

• Anxiety or ongoing worry

• Feeling stuck, lost, or disconnected

• Relationship or communication difficulties

• Grief, loss, or major life changes

• Fertility and IVF-related emotional challenges

• Questions around identity, meaning, or direction

• A sense that life looks “fine” on the outside but feels empty or difficult inside

• Repeating patterns you want to understand

• Trauma

• Stress

• Belonging, identity, lgbtq, culture, race/minorities etc

You do not need to be in crisis to begin therapy.

No. Many people begin therapy with a general sense that something feels off, without being able to clearly define it.

Therapy can be a space to explore uncertainty, confusion, or questions that don’t yet have words. You don’t need a clear problem or goal before you begin — understanding often emerges through the process itself.

There is no fixed number of sessions in existential therapy.

Some people attend therapy short-term to work through a specific situation or period in their life. Others choose longer-term therapy to explore deeper patterns, relationships, or questions of meaning.

The pace and duration are always discussed collaboratively and can be reviewed at any point.

Yes. Existential therapy is often open-ended, meaning there is no predefined timeline.

Rather than working toward a set endpoint, therapy unfolds at your pace and focuses on depth, understanding, and personal meaning. Endings are discussed thoughtfully and consciously, rather than being imposed.

Yes. Existential therapy can be particularly helpful for anxiety.

Instead of focusing only on symptom management, existential therapy explores how anxiety may be connected to uncertainty, responsibility, choice, or loss of meaning. This approach helps you relate differently to anxiety, rather than trying to eliminate it.

Yes. Many people who seek therapy are managing work, relationships, and responsibilities while still feeling exhausted, disconnected, or unfulfilled.

Therapy offers space to explore what’s happening beneath the surface and to reconnect with what matters to you, even when life appears outwardly stable.

Yes. Sessions are available both in person and online.

Online therapy allows you to access support from your own home and can be just as effective as in-person sessions. This option is available to clients across the UK and worldwide.

Yes.

Couples may come to therapy for support with communication, conflict, trust, life transitions, or feeling disconnected. In some cases, individual therapy may also support relational change and growth.

The first session is an opportunity to talk about what brings you to therapy and what you’re hoping for.

There is no pressure to share everything at once. The focus is on getting a sense of whether therapy feels like the right space for you and beginning to explore what matters most.

It’s completely natural to want clarity around cost before starting therapy. Fees can vary depending on your needs and the way sessions are arranged, and this is usually talked through during an initial consultation.

This allows space to discuss not just practicalities, but also whether therapy feels like the right fit for you at this time without any pressure to commit.

You don’t need to be certain before starting therapy.

If you’re curious, feeling stuck, struggling emotionally, or simply wanting space to reflect, therapy may be helpful. An initial consultation can help you decide whether existential therapy feels right for you at this point in your life.
