Existential psychotherapy is a therapeutic approach that explores the deeper questions of being human — meaning, identity, relationships, freedom, and how we navigate uncertainty or change. Instead of viewing distress as something to be “fixed,” existential therapy supports you in understanding how you are living, relating, and making sense of your experiences.
In this approach, your struggles are understood within the broader context of your life stories, values, cultural background, and relationships. Therapy creates space to reflect on what feels important, so you can reconnect with a greater sense of choice, meaning, and vitality — even during periods of anxiety, low mood, grief, or transitions.
At Saans, the existential approach creates space to explore what matters most to you and how you can live more intentionally, with a stronger sense of self-awareness and authenticity.
Systemic Family Therapy looks at how our emotional experiences are shaped by the relationships and systems we live within – family, partners, social circles, community, and culture. Rather than seeing difficulties in isolation, this approach explores the patterns of interaction and communication that influence how we relate to one another.
Systemic therapy is especially helpful for understanding recurring relational challenges, conflict, or disconnection. By exploring each person’s perspective and the wider context they come from, therapy supports more empathy, clarity, and meaningful change within relationships.
This approach can be beneficial for couples, families, and individuals navigating communication difficulties, conflict, parenting challenges, adolescent issues, or life transitions. The aim is to build healthier patterns of relating and create more supportive, balanced connections in your life.
Starting therapy can feel like a significant step. When you get in touch, we will suggest a therapist practising at Saans who we think may be a good fit for you and pass your enquiry to them. They will contact you directly to arrange an initial conversation. This gives you and the therapist an opportunity to discuss what brings you to therapy and explore whether working together feels right for you.
If you decide to continue, you and your therapist will agree directly on the frequency and arrangements for your sessions. Therapy may be open-ended or time-limited, depending on your needs and what you agree together.
In your sessions, there is no set agenda. You are free to bring whatever is on your mind—whether it is a pressing crisis, a lingering memory, a dream, or a vague sense of unease. There is no single “right” way to do therapy. You and your therapist can explore your needs at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
Over time, this process can support greater self-reflection, compassion for yourself and others, and a renewed sense of agency in your life. Whether you are exploring past experiences or navigating present-day challenges, therapy can create space to consider how you want to live and relate more fully and authentically.
Beginning therapy can feel like a significant step, and it often takes courage. If you would like to see whether this is right for you, you can get in touch for a free 15-minute consultation. We will pass your enquiry to a therapist who may be a good fit for you, and they will contact you directly.
