Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (or ACT) is one of the therapeutic approaches that we use in our practice at Psychwest. Its core message is about accepting what is out of your control and committing to take action that improves your life. It helps you to be able to deal with difficult thoughts and feelings more effectively, use your values to guide your life and change for the better, and to focus on what’s important.
ACT teaches you to stop avoiding or struggling with your emotions and to accept that they are a part of life that shouldn’t hold you back. Following this, you can commit to taking action and making changes to your behaviour, regardless of what is happening in your life.
This approach can help treat many mental conditions, such as depression, anxiety disorders, OCD, eating disorders, stress, substance use disorders and chronic pain.
Our Perth psychologists offer a variety of approaches to assist you with your mental health challenges, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Interpersonal Therapy, EMDR Therapy and Positive Psychology.
When you visit Psychwest for Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, our psychologists will work with you to tune in to the way you talk to yourself, particularly about challenges in your life. You’ll be able to identify the problems in your life that require action so that you can change it, and to identify the problems that you need to work on accepting for what it is.
