Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is an evidence-based therapy that helps you live a meaningful life, even when difficult thoughts and feelings arise. Rather than trying to eliminate painful emotions, ACT teaches you to accept them and make room for what really matters to you.
ACT combines mindfulness skills with practical strategies to help you notice your thoughts, feelings and experiences without getting stuck in them, so you can take action toward your values and goals.
What is ACT?
ACT might be right for you if you’re feeling overwhelmed by difficult thoughts or emotions like anxiety, depression, or stress — especially when it feels like trying to fight or avoid these feelings just makes things harder.
It’s helpful for people who want to live a fuller, more meaningful life, even when facing challenges or uncertainty.
ACT is a good fit if you’re ready to explore new ways to relate to your thoughts and feelings, and want to focus on what truly matters to you.
Who is ACT for?
In ACT sessions, you’ll work in a supportive space to gently notice your thoughts and feelings without judgment.
We’ll explore practical mindfulness exercises that help you stay present and focused, even when things feel tough.
You’ll learn strategies to accept difficult emotions, reduce struggle, and take committed action toward your personal values and goals.
Sessions are tailored to your pace, with lots of encouragement and support along the way.
ACT helps you build ‘psychological flexibility’ — the ability to adapt and move forward, even when life is challenging.
