Existential Psychotherapy
Loneliness, social isolation, alienation, meaninglessness of life, monotonous life dilemmas brought by modern and metropolitan life.
The sole purpose of psychotherapy, which progresses in the light of psychology, which is considered as human behavior, is perceived as solving psychological illnesses and disorders. However, this is not true at all.
We no longer label someone as sick or disordered. We are focusing on the problems of today’s people, the new generation. Existential questions have been around since the first human being. This opens the door to existential psychotherapy for us.

Existential Psychotherapy Goal - Result Relationship
What is my purpose in life? What am I doing? What should I do? Why am I here? What is loneliness? Asking questions like these in a safe environment and finding your own answers, not my answers as a psychologist.
Not everything is an answer.
In Existential Psychotherapy, we do not only seek answers with our clients, we also focus on how to deal with the conflict created by these questions.
