EXISTENTIAL coaching
Clarity |Courage | Change
Existential coaching is a non-judgmental space to reflect, reset, and move forward – with purpose.
It’s not about quick fixes or generic advice. It’s about asking better questions, challenging assumptions and aligning your actions with what really matters to you.
Whether you’re navigating a career shift, feeling stuck in your personal life, or simply want to live more intentionally, the perspectives gained from existential coaching can help you face your fears, clarify your direction and take charge of your life to achieve your goals.
What is Existential Coaching?
Existential coaching is a philosophical and practical approach to achieving personal growth. It is suited for clients who are open to cultivating a different relationship with themselves but feel in some way restricted and want help to break out from that.
It’s designed to help you:
-
Clarify your values, motivators and goals
-
Navigate uncertainty and change with resilience
-
Make decisions with greater confidence
-
Take responsibility for your choices
-
Grow your sense of self
-
Live more authentically
I believe facilitating change through coaching is most successful when we don't shy away from the deeper questions. I encourage my clients to become more aware of their thoughts and actions, and the impact these have on their situation and available choices. We’ll explore what’s holding you back, what you need to move toward, and how to create the conditions for lasting change – not just surface-level tweaks.
My approach is grounded in reflection and self-awareness, but always moving toward action.
Who is it for?
It's for anyone ready to take responsibility for making changes in their personal or professional lives and investing in themselves. Those who are reflective, open to challenge and willing to explore their vulnerability can benefit the most.
You might be:
-
At a crossroads – in your career, relationships, or sense of self
-
Feeling stuck despite external success
-
Questioning what’s next after a promotion, pivot or personal shift
-
Wanting to reconnect with your values, energy or purpose
-
Ready to make a change, but unsure where to start
My clients are usually thoughtful, driven and hard on themselves. They don’t need fixing – they need space to think, feel and act with intention.
Many come from fast-paced professional environments, such as the creative, tech and healthcare sectors, where I can bring my own experience of their unique challenges into our work.
WHAT WE MIGHT EXPLORE
-
Goals: What do you want – and why does it matter?
-
Values: What’s meaningful and motivating to you? What’s not?
-
Perspective: What assumptions are shaping your choices?
-
Responsibility: Are you owning your choices and the outcomes?
-
Obstacles: What’s really holding you back?
-
Paradox: How do you manage trade-offs and uncertainty?
-
Authenticity: Who are you? Who do you want to be?
We’ll work with the real tensions of life – not just the polished parts.
The biggest breakthroughs can come from the questions you’ve been avoiding.
How is coaching different from psychotherapy?
Coaching tends to be:
-
Shorter-term: Oriented toward action
-
Goal-led: We’ll co-create what success looks like for you
-
Structured: With accountability and momentum
For many people, it's part of staying mentally healthy and avoiding the need for therapy later on. It can be useful for those who feel they are in a 'good place' and want support making specific changes. Sessions can be every few weeks, with space to make progress between sessions.
Psychotherapy is more open-ended and exploratory, focused on emotional distress and often explores the past.
