"By using both writing and talking therapy we are able to learn how to understand our stories and our lives in context. Often the unspoken and the unspeakable can be written and a voice is found."
"The existential approach is first and foremost philosophical. It is concerned with the understanding of people's position in the world and with the clarification of what it means to be alive. It is also committed to exploring these questions with a receptive attitude, rather than a dogmatic one: the search for truth with an open mind and an attitude of wonder is the aim, not the fitting of the client into pre-established categories and interpretations." Professor Emmy van Deurzen, Principal of the New School of Psychotherapy and Counselling, London UK
