Online Acceptance And Commitment Therapy (ACT)

This approach feels rather different from traditional CBT, whereas traditional CBT will encourage you to analyse and explore evidence for negative thinking. ACT has a very different goal,  this model incorporates elements of mindfulness, values and acceptance.  The fundamental principle of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is that the problem rests in our struggle for happiness. Further to this principle is the knowledge that human beings do face negative thoughts and feelings and sometimes it is not helpful to avoid these things. Many of the interventions in ACT help train individuals to open up and accept their current reality (whatever this may be). This does not mean we simply accept things but it does free us up to become better problem solvers. Within a couple of online acceptance and commitment therapy sessions, things often begin to feel easier, however, the irony is that one must stop struggling to push negative thoughts and feelings away for this sense of peace to occur.

You can expect sessions to be focused on helping you identify what is really important to you and using this information to guide you. Rather than analysing thoughts you will learn techniques which will change the power these thoughts have over you. Online Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) also offers you powerful techniques that will help you to manage overwhelming emotions as they arise.
