Welcome to The Existential Academy

The Existential Academy is a place for study, training and education in relation to human existence.  It is based on existential philosophy and aims to make this resource available in a practical way to enable people to live better lives.

The Existential Academy offers training in existential coaching as well as public lectures on human issues.  It also offers short courses and workshops on specific concerns, such as understanding human emotions, relationships and the meaning of life.

The Existential Academy aims to provide a platform for self-reflection and reflection about the way in which we live our lives.  It is committed to openness and encourages free, critical and radical thinking, exploring ancient human concerns. Our objective is to help people explore better ways of living and gain greater understanding of themselves in relation to their world.  

The Directors of the Existential Academy are Emmy van Deurzen and Digby Tantam, both professors of psychotherapy and international authorities in their fields.  They have published several dozen books between them and have a long-standing reputation for excellence in offering training in psychotherapy and counselling.
