Adam McLean

Group Therapist, Existential Psychotherapist

Sydney NSW

In Person + Telehealth

I believe we are challenged to take personal responsibility for the choices we make in life. The past influences the present and the future poses hope, meaning and purpose. Existential philosophy approaches life holistically. It breaks away from putting labels on a persons' life and works from the basis of being-present.
