The article in the Guardian has created considerable interest in existential therapy. Far more people have asked for therapy with Emmy van Deurzen than she can take on for therapy, given her many other commitments. She does have associates and trainees who are available to provide existential therapy using her approach and if you like to see either an associate or a trainee supervised by Professor van Deurzen or her colleague Professor Digby Tantam please let Ms Helen Araromi, the administrator of Dilemma Consultancy know. If you do not contact Ms. Helen Araromi we will assume that you wish to see Emmy van Deurzen personally but Emmy van Deurzen and Dilemma Consultancy regret that may not be possible.
Services
Dilemma is an organization of psychotherapists, counsellors and coaches working in the existential tradition. We aim to provide counselling, psychotherapy, and coaching to the highest standards of professional competence and ethical practice.
We offer services to adults aged 18 and over.
Fatherhood discussion group
Fatherhood is ever-evolving and deeply personal. At a time when gender roles are shifting and expectations on parents are high, this online reflection group offers fathers an unhurried space to think together about what fatherhood means and how to live it.
Grounded in existential thinking, the sessions explore identity, responsibility, freedom and relationships—not as problems to solve, but as dimensions of a role that is demanding, uncertain and deeply human.
Each meeting begins with a brief check-in, develops into a facilitated discussion around a shared theme, and concludes with a reflective check-out.

Individual Work
Our counsellors, psychotherapists and coaches work within the existential tradition. They see the problems that their clients bring as reflecting authentic concerns about the client's world, and not just as evidence of disorder or illness.
