Existential therapy is a form of psychotherapy that focuses on how we experience life, the difficulties we are having, the choices we make, and the meaning we give to those experiences.

At Badashian Therapy, existential psychotherapy offers a warm, non judgemental, and confidential space to reflect on what matters most to you — whether you attend sessions in Stockport, online, & worldwide

Understanding Existential Therapy

Existential therapy recognises that each person is unique. Your life experiences, challenges, and feelings cannot be compared to anyone else’s.

Rather than trying to diagnose or “fix” you like some forms of traditional counselling, existential psychotherapy helps you explore:

Your thoughts and emotions
Your relationships and patterns
Your values and beliefs
Your sense of meaning and purpose

Many people come to therapy feeling stuck, anxious, or disconnected. Badashian therapy can help you better understand these feelings and discover new perspectives and possibilities.

How Does Existential Psychotherapy Work?

Existential therapy is not about giving advice or telling you what to do. It provides a space to reflect on your life and the choices you are facing. In sessions, we explore what brings you to therapy, the challenges and questions you are living with and gain the tools to find a way forward.

Existential therapy is tailored to you as an individual. Two people can experience the same situation in very different ways. Your therapy will focus on your story, your feelings, and your values at your pace.
