Sydney Existential Psychotherapy, Counselling and Existential Philosophy
- Have you become disillusioned with your life?
- Does happiness seem beyond your grasp?
- Do things that once satisfied no longer hold appeal?
- Maybe you know that your current challenges mask a greater sense of angst?
Existential philosophy offers a radically different perspective on who we are as individuals. It questions why we are alive at all and invites us to consider our human experience within our overriding tendency to create meaning in what we do. Concepts of freedom, choice and responsibility are explored within a new paradigm – not in contemporary ways that pre-suppose right or preferable ways to live.
When applied to experiences like anxiety, depression, panic attacks or lack of meaning, existential psychotherapy provides a refreshing re-appraisal of what these conditions actually communicate. Instead of seeing psychological abnormality, existential psychotherapy invites you to explore the underlying themes, as humans, we must all face within our lifetime.
When existential exploration combines with traditional psychological interventions, you transcend your difficulties in ways that are long-lasting. You begin to see your life as a creative pursuit, in which external parameters no longer exist of how you spend this precious currency called Your Life. You begin to see the potential to create a world – starting with your world – which truly celebrates what it is to live on purpose.
Many people ask ‘Why am I not happy when I have achieved what I set out to achieve?’ If you are one of these people who know there is more to life, then existential psychotherapy is for you. Through the process, you will identify your real values, avoid the pain of regret of living half-heartedly and enjoy the thrill of living with real purpose.
