Humanistic and existential therapies focus on self-discovery and personal growth, emphasizing the individual's capacity for self-awareness and choice. These approaches share a belief in the inherent value and potential of human beings, encouraging clients to explore their feelings and take responsibility for their lives. Therapists aim to create a supportive and non-judgmental environment, helping individuals to understand their life experiences, discover their authentic selves, and live more fully. This method is particularly beneficial for those dealing with existential crises, seeking personal development, or wishing to explore the meaning of life and their place within it.
