Ep. 03 | Existential Psychotherapy

Welcome to 'Therapists Talk Therapy', a podcast created by therapists, for therapists. Today we are in conversation with Ramesh Ramsahoye. Ramesh is a lecturer with PCI College where he focuses on counselling theory, Humanistic and Existential psychotherapy and personal development. Ramesh previously worked as an Art and Art History teacher at secondary level and so has experience of meeting students at various life stages. 

Today we are discussing existentialism. We clarify what it is and how, despite sometimes feeling like an abstract theory, it can deeply and practically inform our work in the therapy room. The themes of meaning, freedom and death have strongly emerged during COVID and existentialism provides a framework for working with these issues. 

This is a podcast series from PCI College, Ireland's leading provider of third-level education in the fields of Counselling & Psychotherapy. In each episode, we talk with expert practitioners in their field discussing therapeutic approaches, specialisms, topical and emerging issues, controversies.
