What is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)?
ACT focuses on six core processes that help people develop psychological flexibility:
Acceptance – Allowing thoughts and feelings to exist without trying to suppress or avoid them.
Cognitive Defusion – Learning to step back from unhelpful thoughts and reduce their impact.
Being Present – Increasing mindfulness and awareness of the current moment.
Self-as-Context – Viewing yourself from a broader perspective beyond fleeting thoughts and emotions.
Values Clarification – Identifying what matters most to you.
Committed Action – Taking practical steps towards living in line with your values.
Through ACT, clients gain the skills to manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and other mental health challenges by focusing on meaningful living rather than symptom elimination.

Our Approach
We tailor every ACT session to your personal goals and needs. By integrating mindfulness techniques, practical behavioural strategies, and values-based decision-making, ACT helps you create sustainable changes in your life. Many clients find ACT particularly effective because it focuses on building a rich and meaningful life rather than eliminating uncomfortable emotions altogether.
We also understand that therapy should be accessible, which is why we offer both face-to-face ACT sessions in Bundoora and telehealth ACT appointments for clients across Victoria and beyond.
