The human being's life is marked by cycles that determine its evolutionary trajectory, and the search for self-knowledge becomes eternal, since the subject is in constant self-discovery. Within this theme, Psychology has a fundamental role, and Floral Therapy has also contributed significantly to this issue. In this sense, the objective was to approach the way of doing therapy in the Existential Humanist approach, as well as the functioning of Floral Therapy, in order to highlight the benefits of these two practices linked to the search for self-knowledge. Through an exploratory research using Google Forms, 12 people were interviewed, using the nonprobabilistic technique for convenience. Individuals over 18 years of age and who are undergoing or have already undergone psychological counseling, concomitant with the use of flower essences, were included, and those who were or had already undergone only one of the referred therapeutic practices were excluded. A sociodemographic questionnaire and a semistructured interview were applied, following all ethical aspects involving research with human beings. The results were analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively. Married women aged 50-60 years predominated in the research, most of them with higher education and belonging to the middle class. It was possible to observe that if used together, the therapeutic practices in question tend to provide an effective result for the subject in his self-knowledge process.
