ACT (said as one word, not as letters) is a new cognitive -behavioural therapy that emphasises processes such as mindfulness, acceptance, and values in helping clients overcome obstacles in their lives.
ACT therapy session will help you to become unstuck from processes that hinder your ability to move forward in the life direction you desire.
ACT works using the basic assumption that suffering is normal and an unavoidable part of human experience, and that it is actually people’s attempts to control or avoid their own painful experience that leads to much long-term suffering and what doesn’t work in peoples lives. ACT helps people to learn ways to let go of struggles with pain, be more mindful, get clarity on what really matters to them, and commit to living life to the full, vibrant lives. The goal of therapy is not to eliminate certain parts of one’s experience of life, but rather to learn how to experience life more fully, without as much struggle, and with vitality and commitment.
