Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

ACT is a form of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) with an emphasis on personal values and mindfulness to help manage thoughts, feelings and behaviours. 

Ways in which ACT can help you

• Instead of trying to suppress anxious thoughts, ACT will show you how to acknowledge them without judgment. This reduces their power over emotions and behaviours.

• Anxiety and depression often involve fixating on future worries or ruminating on the past. ACT uses techniques to help you stay grounded in the present moment.

• ACT will help you identify what's truly important to you. This clarity allows you to commit to actions that align with your values, even if they cause some anxiety.

ACT is about helping you live a more fulfilling life, guided by your values, rather than ruled by your fears.
