Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

As well as being a qualified Integrative counsellor, I also practice Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and have completed a BPS accredited course to become an ACT Practitioner.

ACT is a therapy which helps people live a meaningful life without getting stuck in a battle with their thoughts and feelings. It uses a combination of behaviourism, positive psychology and mindfulness to help you identify and move towards a more values based life. The focus of ACT is quality of life over symptom reduction. 

ACT is an evidence based therapy which works well for anxiety, depression, chronic pain as well as everyday emotional struggles.
