Who are our clients?

Existential Coaching offers an open approach that will be successful for any individual that is ready to truly explore his/her own particular way of being in the world and to work on finding the means to be at ease with that individual and unique way of being.

The Existential approach is particularly useful when individuals are facing big or sudden changes in their personal or professional lives (loss of or new relationships, change of career, entering a foreign culture, etc…) In addition, from an organisational point of view, the Existential approach has proved to be very effective when working with issues of transition or progression and advancement in work, communication conflicts with colleagues or team members, or redefining the meaning and purpose of the individual at work.

However, Existential Coaching might not be suitable for anyone, as Emmy Van Deurzen describes, those who would benefit the most from this approach would probably be someone that:

• Accepts – or is open to – the idea that their problem is with living, rather than a form of pathology,
• Is not looking for immediate symptom relief, or expects the outcome of coaching to be a ‘smooth and perfect’ life,
• Has a critical mind and a desire to think, and is not looking for another’s opinion on what ails them,
• Is ready to take stock of his/her life – to question themselves and be questioned,
• Is someone who questions the status quo, rather than wanting to fit in and be ‘normal’.
