Existential Therapy is based on the tenets of the philosophy of Existentialism.


Existentialism promotes the belief that life has no inherent or intrinsic meaning and it is
the individual who assigns meaning to it.

How does existential therapy help?

This therapy helps individuals find answers to some of life’s questions such as:

Who Am I?

What is the purpose of my life?

Why do people suffer?

What am I doing here?

Although existential psychotherapy acknowledges the importance of an individual’s


past, it focuses more on his or her current state of mind. The therapy aims to free the
person from his own limited thoughts and accept their own responsibility in shaping
their life.

At Mindgram, we have expertise in existential psychotherapy along with a range of other


psychotherapies. We work with our clients to understand their needs and identify the
best form of treatment to help them lead a happy and fulfilling life.
