What Is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy?

With ACT we focus on accepting our thoughts and feelings rather than attempting to change or eliminate them. ACT encourages individuals to identify their values and commit to actions aligned with those values, promoting psychological flexibility. ACT incorporates mindfulness techniques to help individuals be present in the moment and observe their thoughts without judgment. We emphasize the importance of accepting discomfort and moving towards valued goals, fostering a more adaptive and meaningful life. We use ACT to effectively treat various mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and chronic pain.

Is Solution Focused Therapy for you?

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is a goal-oriented and time-limited therapeutic approach that focuses on identifying and building solutions rather than dwelling on problems. We encourage clients to envision their desired future and explore the steps needed to achieve those goals. The goal is to stay present and future-focused, minimizing discussion of past issues unless relevant to finding solutions. We amplify strengths and resources, promoting a positive and empowering therapeutic process. This approach is known for its efficiency and effectiveness in helping individuals create tangible and sustainable changes in a relatively short period.

First Session Worries?

During our initial session, we will discuss the mutual expectations of both therapist and client, establishing a framework for our collaborative work. We will guide you through a comprehensive psycho-social assessment, delving into relevant aspects of your personal history and current circumstances. This thorough examination aims to provide a nuanced understanding of your unique experiences and challenges.

Additionally, we will explore your therapeutic goals, identifying the milestones you aspire to achieve. This collaborative goal-setting lays the groundwork for our shared journey towards your desired outcomes. Our first session is designed to be a thoughtful and purposeful commencement of the transformative work that lies ahead, ensuring that our therapeutic alliance is not only meaningful but also tailored to your specific needs and aspirations.

Ideal Clients

We love working with clients who are ready and motivated to actively engage in the therapeutic process. Our approach is distinctly geared towards those who view therapy as a dynamic space for growth and transformation.

It's essential to note that our therapeutic approach is rooted in ACT and solution-focused therapy. We find profound fulfillment in supporting individuals who are eager to explore solutions, set achievable goals, and embark on a journey of self-discovery.
