Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) in York
ACT in York
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a form of therapy rooted in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) that can help with a wide range of issues, including depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem.
ACT focuses on changing your relationship with your thoughts rather than trying to control them. By developing more flexible thinking patterns, you can learn to let go of unhelpful thoughts and focus on living a meaningful life.
Here at York Therapy Clinic, our network of psychologists and therapists in York can help you to observe your thoughts and feelings without judgement and take steps towards achieving your goals.
Who Can Benefit from ACT?
ACT is a proven therapy approach supported by scientific research, and has been shown to be effective in treating a variety of conditions, including:
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
- Chronic Pain
- Grief, Loss and Bereavement
- Anger Management
- Self-Esteem Issues
How Does Acceptance & Commitment Therapy Work?
ACT therapists work with you to understand how you develop and connect with negative thoughts. By developing skills to remove yourself from these unhelpful patterns, ACT can help you to overcome a range of issues.
When you can’t change a situation, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy can help you to change how you think about it. This allows you to break free from dwelling on negative thoughts, and move forwards in a more positive way.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy can also help you to improve your emotional regulation skills, increase self-compassion, and reduce any stress and anxiety.
Depending on your specific challenges and goals, the number of ACT sessions you’ll need will be discussed during your initial consultation with our therapists in York.
