What is Logotherapy?

Logos is Greek for meaning. Happiness is a by-product of leading a meaningful life and engaging in meaningful activities. 

Logotherapy defines that meaning is the force of life. This approach is effective with anxiety, addiction, depression, identity, and stress. This is because the techniques associated with Logotherapy aim to meet the deficits that occur when we are leading an unfulfilled life. 

Logotherapy consists of working towards responsibility, the minimisation, (and eventual ending) of symptoms and can be used to help with health anxiety, post natal depression, stress and many other related issues. 

Dr Victor Frankl believed that we all harbour the will to find meaning. When we are affected by meaninglessness it creates an 'existential vacuum'. Feeling despondent, bored, alone (invisible), lethargic and unmotivated. When we feel this way, basic tasks seem hard.

Dr Frankl formed the basis of his ideas as a result of his experiences as a Holocaust survivor as an inmate at Auschwitz throughout the second world war. He documented his experiences explicitly in a book entitled 'Man's search for meaning'. 

Through his brutal experience, Dr Viktor Frankl became passionate about the notion that we can find meaning from unavoidable suffering, which formed the basis for Logotherapy. 

Logotherapy is a collaborative approach to therapy with specific techniques. Logotherapy is easily integrated into most approaches to therapy.

Meaning-centred coaching. 

Meaning centred coaching combines the purposeful elements of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and logotherapy techniques to overcome anxiety and stress. This is alongside other appropriate therapeutic methods on a case by case basis. 

Straightforwardness, Humour, Respect, Empathy, Purpose & Gentleness are cornerstones of how this works. Coaching is becoming an increasingly accessible option for those who yearn for growth. 

This form of coaching is available with Tim Potter , a clinician of Logotherapy in both Harley Street, London as well as central Tunbridge Wells.
