Existential and Humanistic Approaches Delivered Online

Lucy Hill uses existential and humanistic perspectives to support people in making sense of their experience and finding meaning. Existential therapy focuses on questions about values, purpose, responsibility, and choice - it can help when someone is facing major life transitions, grief, or uncertainty about direction. A humanistic approach emphasises the person as a whole, prioritising empathy, respect, and the individual's capacity for growth, which can be especially helpful for issues like low mood, relationship concerns, and self-esteem.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. Lucy works collaboratively with each person to explore their needs, goals, and preferences, and together they determine which methods feel like the best fit. This collaborative process helps shape a therapy plan that aligns with what the person hopes to achieve.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility - appointments can take place by video call or phone, and there are options for live chat or text-based messaging when that better suits a person's schedule or comfort level. These formats make it easier to access licensed professionals from home or elsewhere, accommodate busy lives, and allow consistent support during times of change.
