Online support
Existential perspectives and online therapy
Existential Therapy looks at the big questions that leave people feeling lost or empty. It helps people think about values, choices and the ways they want to live. This approach can be useful for worries about purpose, isolation, guilt or feeling stuck.Ben focuses on conversations that link meaning to practical change. He helps people name what matters to them and then try small experiments in daily life. Together they decide which ideas and techniques fit the person's aims and situation.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation when they prefer it. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can work well for shorter check-ins. Live chat and messaging suit people who want flexible, written check-ins or who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments, and to keep regular contact even when schedules change.
