Existential Psychotherapy
Feb 15 from 9am to 11am GMT
An introduction to the ideas, techniques and perspectives of Existential Psychotherapy
How can we make our lives meaningful?
How do we manage our experience of life as human beings?
How can we create our own narratives?
The primary purpose of this workshop is to demystify existential psychotherapy by providing a asic grounding in its philosophical roots, core principles, and practical applications.
Existential psychotherapy is not just a set of techniques; it is a way of approaching human experience that emphasizes meaning, freedom, responsibility, and authenticity. The scope of this course extends from the historical development of existential thought, through its translation into therapeutic practice, to its contemporary relevance in addressing modern psychological challenges.
Throughout the webinar, you will encounter the major thinkers who shaped existentialism, such as Søren Kierkegaard, Friedrich Nietzsche, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Viktor Frankl. You will also learn how their ideas have been adapted to help individuals confront issues like anxiety, isolation, and the search for meaning. By the end, you will have a nuanced understanding of how existential psychotherapy differs from, and complements, other therapeutic modalities.

What problems does this Handbook solve?
Many CBT therapists tell us the same things:
- “I know what good CBT looks like — I just don’t always have the time or headspace to organise it properly.”
- “I’m doing the work, but my notes, planning and CPD don’t always reflect that.”
- “Audit and accreditation sit in the back of my mind like a low-level threat.”
- “There are so many resources out there — I want one place that actually helps.”
- “I want to be neuro-affirmative, ethically sound, and up to date — without burning out.”
