Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Acceptance and commitment therapy involves a variety of experiential exercises to alter and diminish the significance and power of damaging cognitive and behavioural patterns and so helping individuals change their relationship with negative thoughts and feelings.

ACT addresses the attempt to avoid or get rid of unwanted unpleasant thoughts and feelings as a method for building long-term solutions for negative cognitive and behavioural patterns. ACT is usually applied in individual client- sessions or in groups and visualisation exercises, metaphors and behavioural work can be used.
