Humanistic & Existential Counselling
Managing life’s complexities and achieving a sense of purpose and contentment
Humanistic and existential counselling are therapeutic approaches that pave the way to personal growth and self-awareness by focusing on your unique experiences. Clients can expect to achieve personal fulfillment while also improving relationships and improving the management of stress and anxiety.
“
Both humanistic and existential counselling offer valuable insights and tools for personal development, emotional resilience, and improved quality of life. I tend to use a combination of both methods with clients tailored to their own needs. I believe everyone is an individual and there is no one singular approach that suits all circumstances.”
Humanistic Counselling:
