Existential psychotherapy has its roots in Philosophy and the many great philosophers who have lived and continue to. Epictetus for example talks about existential experiences in an accessible way: we can only control two things -- our thoughts and our actions. Nothing and no one else.
"There is only one way to happiness and that is to cease worrying about things which are beyond the power or our will."
Epictetus
There is much that has been written about the existential approach and if you wanted to find out more I'd suggest researching goodtherapy.org: www.goodtherapy.org/learn-about-therapy/types/existential-psychotherapy or books written by Yalom (www.yalom.com -- start with Love's Executioner) along with van Deurzen or Spinelli.
"A curious thought experiment. . . Nietzsche's message to us was to live life in such a way that we would be willing to repeat the same life eternally

"I saw Amrit in October 2016 after suffering a number of panic attacks and general anxiety over past and present family and personal relationships. Amrit was Incredibly kind, patient, thoughtful and provided the most easy, warm open space for me to just talk, release and heal. I was almost instantly at ease with sharing parts of my life I hadn’t discussed for years if ever with anyone, it was what I needed to move on. Amrit realistically provided me with an approximation of how many sessions I would likely require and offered me follow up sessions during periods that were heightened. Amrit also was available over the phone or email if and when required. As time has gone by and my strength has improved as well as coping mechanisms that Amrit put in place for me I often reflect on my time with Amrit and credit her whole heartedly with assisting me in finding my peace. I know if I go off course, that’s ok, and if ever needed, I can return and confidently speak with her again. Thank you again Amrit for your help x" Anon
