Our Story
Our Framework
My Motivation. My Journey. My Decisions.
Rooted in the therapeutic tradition of Existential Analysis and Logotherapy, founded by Viktor Frankl and developed further by Alfried Längle. Our framework and digestible content, co-created by Meaningful Paths Founder David Chorlton and Therapist Sandy ElChaar, can be used for individual reflection and can also help practitioners support their own wellbeing and their clients.
