Existential Counselling and Psychotherapy Hackney East London
Existential Phenomenological Psychotherapy is a relationship and a conversation.
As in everyday life, the quality of conversation relies on the quality of the relationship.
Happiness and sadness have a place in therapy.
Laughter doesn't necessarily mean that you're happy and tears are not always about sadness.
I ask in therapy what the tears or the laughter mean, rather than make assumptions.
Relationship work with couples.
I like to clearly reassure people in a relationship that I am not taking sides, that you each can feel at ease to talk about difficulties in the relationship and be heard by me.
I like to see couples for two to four initial 50 minute sessions and then at least one individual session with each of the couple before returning to meeting together. The duration of the work will be jointly decided, but in my experience, couple work is often short term work
