ACT Therapy
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) Online (UK-wide)
I’m a BABCP-accredited psychotherapist working with adults online, across the UK, and in-person (Stourbridge) offering Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) to address a range of psychological and emotional difficulties. ACT is an effective, evidence-based, practical, and outcome-focused, therapy designed to help you reduce distress, overcome painful or unwanted thoughts and feelings, and gain skills to more of what matters to you in your work, relationships, and personal life. again.
What is ACT?
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy helps you deal with tough thoughts and feelings without letting them steer your behaviour. Rather than trying to delete anxiety or self-criticism, ACT teaches you to notice what shows up, give it a little breathing room, and then choose the next useful step toward the people and priorities that matter to you. It’s practical, skills-based, and used for problems like anxiety, OCD, low mood, trauma and chronic pain. Sessions focus on building everyday habits—bringing our focus to the present and spending less time ruminating about the past or worrying about the future, unhooking from unhelpful mental loops or rigid thinking, clarifying your values, and taking small, repeatable steps towards your goals—so life becomes less stuck and more aligned with what matters to you.

FAQs
-
Is ACT the same as CBT
It’s part of the CBT family but focuses on function and action—changing your relationship with thoughts/feelings so you can do what matters. -
How many sessions will I need?
Many clients see solid gains 12 sessions. More complex difficulties may require longer. We review progress and space sessions as changes hold. -
Will there be homework?
ACT is all about freeing ourselves up to live more consistently in line with our values, meaning doing more of what matters to you, outside of the therapy session, is an important part of the work. -
Can I switch to in-person later?
Yes—if you can travel to Stourbridge.
