Questions

I'm not familiar with the existential perspective.  Do I need to understand it to have therapy?

No, not at all.  The information on this website is here simply to help you make an informed choice as it can be difficult to know what each therapist does, particularly when there are so many different psychotherapies around.  The basic ideas you need to understand are that you will be supported to thoroughly work through whatever you bring to therapy without being judged, blamed or labelled.  The methods are what the therapist uses to make that support effective.
