Simon Lea, Existential Psychotherapist

As a psychotherapist my areas of special interest are meaning and anxiety. I use a variety of methods and techniques to help clients overcome feelings of anxiety and fear. If fear is holding you back then existential therapy or hypnotherapy can help you overcome the negative feelings standing between you and your goals.

Problems that are especially suited to this therapy are:

• Low self confidence
• Feelings of inadequacy
• Stress / tension
• Social anxiety
• Phobias
• Panic attacks

and related problems* such as:

• insomnia
• gastro-intestinal problems
• male sexual problems
• food issues
• addiction

*Depending on the particular problem you should check with your GP before beginning therapy.

Existential therapy and creativity

In addition to this, existential therapy is often very useful for creative people such as artists, musicians and writers. I have worked with several people I would define as creatives, exploring what it is they are trying to say with the pieces they create, and helping them to clarify and understand their philosophical understanding of the world. Together, we not only explore the creative and philosophical ideas behind creativity but also work on the anxieties that often accompany creative projects such as:

• Lack of motivation
• Social anxiety (stagefright, etc.)
• Self-doubt
• Stagnation (writer's block, etc.)
