Distress & Existential Crises
Understanding Existential Distress
At certain moments in life, we may be confronted with questions that shake us—Why am I here? What’s the point of all this? These existential or spiritual questions often arise after a loss, life transition, or in the quiet moments when life no longer feels as it once did. You might feel disconnected, lost, or stuck in a place of inner searching.
How Existential Therapy Helps
Existential therapy creates a safe, respectful space to explore the deeper questions of life—without offering fixed answers. This approach honours your unique experiences, beliefs, and longings. Whether your distress is spiritual, emotional, or philosophical, you will be met with openness, not judgement.
Together, we explore how to live meaningfully—even when life feels uncertain or groundless.
What to Expect in a Session
There’s no agenda in these sessions. You might speak about a crisis of faith, a deep sense of disillusionment, or simply a vague feeling that something is missing. We explore what matters to you and how to move forward with a renewed sense of connection and purpose.

A clearer understanding of your personal values and beliefs
