Reem explained:
“Existential Psychology works around understanding human difficulties during a lifetime in a philosophical way. It draws on the work of existential and phenomenological thinkers and on the practice of existential psychotherapy. This means that the therapist helps the person reach more of their goals yet feel less overwhelmed and challenged by doing so. The sessions are individualized and the objectives rely on what really matters to each person. By using the person and the therapist’s knowledge, longer-lasting well-being and psychological stability can be found and maintained.”
