What Is an Existential Crisis?
An existential crisis occurs when an individual begins to question the fundamental meaning and purpose of their life. This can involve deep reflections on identity, mortality, freedom, and personal values. Common triggers include major life changes, bereavement, career shifts, or even moments of unexpected success that raise deeper questions about direction and fulfilment.
You may find yourself asking:
- What is the point of all this?
- Who am I, really?
- Am I living a life that’s true to myself?
These questions, while profoundly human, can lead to intense anxiety, depression, or a sense of being ‘stuck’. That’s where psychological therapy in London – specifically, at London Bridge Therapy – can provide clarity and support.
Signs You May Be Experiencing an Existential Crisis
- Persistent feelings of emptiness or disconnection
- Anxiety about death or the passage of time
- Loss of motivation or direction
- A sense of identity confusion
- Difficulty finding meaning in relationships or work
- Overwhelming self-reflection or indecision
If these resonate, know that you’re not alone – and that therapy in Central London is available to help you through.
How Therapy Can Help with an Existential Crisis
At London Bridge Therapy, our experienced psychotherapists, couples therapists, and psychotherapists offer a safe, non-judgemental space where you can explore these existential concerns. Our therapy sessions aim to help you:
1. Gain Clarity and Self-Awareness
Therapy helps you examine the beliefs and assumptions shaping your worldview. By exploring your values, fears, and desires, you can better understand who you are and what truly matters to you.
2. Reduce Anxiety and Depression
Existential questioning often overlaps with symptoms of anxiety or depression. Our integrative approach combines existential therapy, schema therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), and psychodynamic approaches to address emotional distress and help you regain emotional balance.
3. Build Meaning and Purpose
One of the key goals of therapy is to support you in creating a life that feels meaningful. Whether that’s through career changes, improving relationships, or making peace with uncertainty, therapy empowers you to take action aligned with your true self.
4. Develop Coping Strategies
Navigating life’s biggest questions doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Therapy equips you with practical tools to manage uncertainty, reduce rumination, and cultivate self-compassion.
