Acceptance & Committent Therapy (ACT)
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or better known as ACT is a well researched and evidence backed therapy.
It has been shown to be highly effective for those suffering from Anxiety, Depression, Chronic Pain, Grief, OCD, & PTSD.
I offer ACT both in person and via Telehealth. If you are looking for an in-person ACT psychologist in North Brisbane or an online Psychologist in Australia, reach out via the contact form to organise your first appointment.
How does ACT work?
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a psychological approach that emphasizes acceptance, mindfulness, and commitment to personal values.
ACT psychologists and therapists, whether online or in-person, guide clients in accepting their thoughts and emotions without judgment, fostering psychological flexibility.
Through mindfulness exercises and experiential techniques, individuals learn to observe their inner experiences while committing to behaviour changes aligned with their values.
I use this evidence-based approach to help clients overcome psychological struggles such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and chronic pain, promoting holistic well-being and resilience.
How can ACT help?
Trauma & PTSD
ACT helps individuals with trauma & PTSD by promoting acceptance of difficult emotions and memories while encouraging value-driven actions, reducing avoidance behaviors, and fostering a meaningful life beyond the trauma.
Depression
ACT assists individuals with depression by encouraging acceptance of negative thoughts and emotions through mindfulness, disengaging from rumination and avoidance, and aligning actions with personal values for a greater sense of purpose.
Anxiety
ACT treats anxiety by encouraging acceptance of anxious thoughts and sensations through mindfulness, detachment from anxiety, and engagement in valued actions, reducing its impact on daily life.
