Abstract
Content & Focus: This paper argues for the coherence of an existential approach to human development with the principles of counselling psychology. It first reviews the points of contact between existentialism and counselling psychology and then briefly reviews current approaches to human development and compares them epistemologically. Following this, the principles of an existential theory are reviewed. Then some examples from the phenomenological and existential literature are reviewed and conclusions drawn about the implications for theories of human development. Finally, some guidelines for existential counselling psychology practice are given.
