Rather than seeing you as a set of symptoms to be fixed, these approaches trust in your innate potential to move toward a more fulfilling life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This way of working is warm, collaborative, and deeply respectful of your unique experience. It creates space to explore not just what&#8217;s troubling you, but the bigger questions of who you are and how you want to live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Humanistic-Existential Approach<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Humanistic and existential therapy can be especially helpful for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A sense of feeling lost, stuck, or disconnected from yourself<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Questions of meaning, purpose, and identity<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Life transitions and major decisions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Low self-worth and difficulty being yourself<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Anxiety about mortality, freedom, or uncertainty<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A wish to live more authentically and fully<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This approach suits people who want to understand themselves more deeply and explore not just their difficulties, but what it means to live a meaningful life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" data-id=\"28212\" src=\"https:\/\/soiltest.in\/psychology-london\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Psychological-Therapy-Overview-2.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-28212\" srcset=\"https:\/\/soiltest.in\/psychology-london\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Psychological-Therapy-Overview-2.webp 800w, https:\/\/soiltest.in\/psychology-london\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Psychological-Therapy-Overview-2-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/soiltest.in\/psychology-london\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Psychological-Therapy-Overview-2-150x150.webp 150w, https:\/\/soiltest.in\/psychology-london\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Psychological-Therapy-Overview-2-768x768.webp 768w, https:\/\/soiltest.in\/psychology-london\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Psychological-Therapy-Overview-2-370x370.webp 370w, https:\/\/soiltest.in\/psychology-london\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Psychological-Therapy-Overview-2-120x120.webp 120w, https:\/\/soiltest.in\/psychology-london\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Psychological-Therapy-Overview-2-410x410.webp 410w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" data-id=\"28252\" src=\"https:\/\/soiltest.in\/psychology-london\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Eating-Disorders1.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-28252\" srcset=\"https:\/\/soiltest.in\/psychology-london\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Eating-Disorders1.webp 800w, https:\/\/soiltest.in\/psychology-london\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Eating-Disorders1-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/soiltest.in\/psychology-london\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Eating-Disorders1-150x150.webp 150w, https:\/\/soiltest.in\/psychology-london\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Eating-Disorders1-768x768.webp 768w, https:\/\/soiltest.in\/psychology-london\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Eating-Disorders1-370x370.webp 370w, https:\/\/soiltest.in\/psychology-london\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Eating-Disorders1-120x120.webp 120w, https:\/\/soiltest.in\/psychology-london\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Eating-Disorders1-410x410.webp 410w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer small_spacer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Humanistic and existential therapies focus on you as a whole person \u2014 your capacity for growth, your search for meaning, and your ability to make authentic choices about how you&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":28214,"menu_order":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-28334","therapy_approach","type-therapy_approach","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.3 -
