Existential Crisis
Sometimes the big questions hit hard: what is the point, who am I, what happens when we die, am I living the life I want? These questions can feel isolating and unsettling, especially after a loss, a milestone or a major change.
What this might look like for you
- Actively questioning the underlying point of literally everything.
- Feeling completely detached from normal goals like status or wealth.
- Deep anxiety about time passing too quickly and slipping away.
- Feeling like life is a long script you never actually agreed to read.
Feeling like nothing matters can be terrifying. We offer a safe space to explore these big questions. We help you find a sense of purpose that actually feels real to you.
How therapy can help
- Explore big questions safely, without being rushed to answers
- Reconnect with your values and what gives your life meaning
- Find steadiness while living with uncertainty
Sessions are 50 minutes on Google Meet, ₹1,500 each or ₹5,100 for a package of 4. Your first 20-minute intro is free.

Common questions
Is an existential crisis a mental illness?
No. Questioning meaning and purpose is a very human experience. It can, however, come with anxiety or low mood, and talking it through often helps.
What kind of therapist works with this?
Therapists with an interest in existential and meaning-centred work. Khushboo and Nutan on our team both work with questions of identity and meaning.
