Existential Psychotherapy
''A sensitivity to the world that is overwhelmingly experienced as a burden rather than a gift''
You See The World Differently
Online Existential Psychotherapy Bromley, Kent
You see the world in a way no one else can, because your perceptions are uniquely shaped by a blend of personal experiences, cultural background, beliefs, and emotions. Your upbringing, relationships, natural disposition, struggles, and joys all intertwine to shape how you interpret what you see and experience.
Existential philosophy reminds us; while we share the same world, we each see it differently—we interact with it through the lens of our own individual story.
Existential Psychotherapy
Existential therapy is rooted in existential philosophy, which not only acknowledges our unique ways of seeing the world but also explores life’s big questions: Who am I? Why am I here? How should I live? It encourages you to reflect on your values, choices, and the things that truly matter to you.
Unlike mainstream approaches that primarily focus on problem-solving, goal-setting, and directing your path, Existential Psychotherapy is about deeply investigating the meanings, values, and aspirations contained within your narrative
Simply put, existential therapy isn’t about “fixing” you; it’s about honouring your individuality and helping you find clarity and direction in life’s chaos.
A Revelatory Process
Through this mutual exploration, we’ll uncover the beliefs, values, and assumptions that shape who you think you are and who you feel you must be. This process can be both challenging and revelatory, often bringing to light the rigid, limiting stances you’ve taken towards yourself and others. It’s about understanding your character, your stance towards the world, and seeing how these have been formed by your unique life experiences.
You Are the Expert on You
The most important thing to remember? You are the expert on your own life. My role is to provide a safe, supportive space where you can explore your experiences and beliefs without judgment.
My goal is to truly listen to you—so that you, in turn, can truly listen to yourself.
‘When we work together, it’s about more than seeing you as a problem to solve. It’s about creating a space where you feel safe, accepted, and truly understood.My aim is to understand the world as you experience it to be,together, we’ll explore your unique way of being in the world, the conflicts, anxieties, and contradictions that come with it.

Re-evaluating Survival Strategies
So, if you’re looking for a therapy experience that honours your individuality, that delves into the heart of your relational existence with warmth, humour, and deep respect, I’m here to walk that path with you. Let’s explore your world together, one compassionate step at a time.
Diversity
While the core principles of my approach to Existential Psychotherapy remain constant, every person’s therapy journey is uniquely their own.
This way of working has been transformative for individuals of all ages, cultures, and backgrounds. At its heart, it embraces diversity, focusing on understanding and exploring your unique perspective. Rather than assuming I know more about you than you do, I approach our work together as a partnership—one built on curiosity, respect, and your lived experience.
Creative and Sensitive Souls
This may be why this approach resonates so deeply with individuals who identify as:
Highly Sensitive or Neurodiverse: Those who experience emotions intensely or in amplified ways, often navigating a world that struggles to fully accept or understand this sensitivity.
Creative and Artistic: Whether musicians, writers, or any kind of creative soul, this approach supports the unique challenges and rewards of having a deeply felt inner world.

Social, Cultural and Political Forces
Existential psychotherapy also offers an opportunity to reflect on how the ‘social surround’ shapes your sense of self — We often underestimate how deeply social, cultural, and political norms influence our thoughts, behaviors, and identities.
You may begin to see that these systems—whether social, cultural, or political—can impose restrictive or unfair expectations, distorting how you perceive yourself.
When you honestly reflect on how you feel ‘the world expects you to be,’ you may realise that feelings of anxiety, isolation, depression, anger, or unfulfillment are not personal flaws for you to ‘work on’ or ‘fix’ but rather meaningful responses to inequities and imbalances in broader societal structures.
Such newfound awareness can spark profound shifts in how you see yourself and your place in the world —
This might mean pursuing a new career, leaving harmful relationships, embracing self-acceptance, stepping into activism, or seizing opportunities once thought out of reach —- What a meaningful shift looks like is yours to decide—and the possibilities can be truly life-changing!
