Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
An approach that develops psychological flexibility and supports actions guided by personal values.
What is ACT?
ACT explores how to respond to difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them determine every decision. Values and committed action are central.
ACT can be considered across a range of emotional and life challenges where avoidance and feeling stuck are prominent.
Sessions often combine mindfulness and practical exercises, helping you clarify what matters and take realistic steps towards it.
