Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

ACT Psychologist in Guildford

ACT is a mindfulness-based behavioural therapy. Research shows it helps people to manage psychological difficulties more effectively and can improve mood and resilience in order to enjoy a more meaningful and fuller life. ACT helps you move towards living the life you want, guided by your values without requiring you to change your thoughts.  Instead it helps you develop strategies to respond differently to unhelpful and distressing thoughts and beliefs.  Using mindfulness based approaches, helps to ‘unhook’ from these challenging thoughts that can otherwise pull and push you around.
