Principles of time-limited psychotherapy can be compatible with an existential approach to assisting adults in transition. This is supported by presentation of a method derived from analysis of an interview with a client who had completed a series of existentially focused therapy sessions. The transcript was analyzed using concepts, such as temporality and authenticity, from Heidegger's Being and Time. The resulting method is presented as five thematic phases, involving intermittent sessions interspersed with ample time for clients' independent reading and self-reflection. The description of the phases, which includes concepts employed and suggestions for therapeutic intervention and readings, is organized around illustrative excerpts taken from the interview
