Harriett Goldenberg
Existential Psychotherapist
Two people together in a room with the shared project of gaining understanding, possibly facilitating healing, and learning much about the possibilities of being in relation.
If you’ve found your way to this website, you are probably looking for a therapist for yourself or someone close to you. You may be wondering about embarking on this perhaps unknown process, and whether I might be the right person for you.
As a precursor to a face to face, or online meeting, please do look through my website, to find out more about me, where I work, what existentially means, and what we might undertake together.
Existential Psychotherapy
There is much to be said about the philosophical basis of the existential approach, but this website is not the place for that.
Suffice it to say, that ‘living is a challenge’, and it can be helpful to take the time to reflect and ponder on how you are living your life, whilst having a therapist alongside you to facilitate your exploration, insight and hopefully greater understanding of your way of being in the world.
In my experience, existential concepts provide a very strong platform from which to identify and describe how each of us is in the world, and the ultimate issues we must all engage with: the challenges of living, of being in relation with others, the reality of death, and the uncertainty of most everything else.
This way of working gives you an opportunity to clarify and remind yourself what your values are, and to reflect upon how they inspire or influence your actions and ways of relating.
As an existential therapist I am fascinated by and open to engage with all aspects of life, and our work together will be a collaboration, where your issues and concerns, fears and struggles are our shared focus.
