Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Counselling in Mount Pleasant, WA
I use evidence-based therapeutic approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ( ACT) and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), to empower your growth.
Seeking support isn’t always easy; especially if you’ve often been misunderstood by professionals or the community in the past. I want to change that: I want to be your cheerleader. Sessions will be tailored to your unique needs and experiences, and you will always be regarded as the expert on your life. I understand how difficult it can be to navigate the stress and anxiety that comes with being expected to meet unrealistic standards; to feel like you need to limit or hide yourself to live up to the status quo. I will support you by celebrating your differences and focusing on your strengths to help you achieve your goals.

Many of our clients have complicated lives. They sometimes struggle with fitting in and finding their place in the world. Others have gone through traumatic and painful childhoods, or had traumatising experiences in adulthood. Most have been to therapy many times, but have not quite found what they were looking for. Sometimes they don't really even know what they're looking for, but they do want something to change.

I am dedicated to creating a safe space for clients free from judgement. I believe it is important that each person feels heard, understood and supported during their therapeutic journey, and I endeavour to make this a reality. I also take time in the first session to establish goals and discuss expectations of therapy. Working from a client-centred approach means it is important to me that clients can select the focus of sessions at a pace that is right for them. This often involves collaboration in order to work through issues, discerning underlying difficulties for sustained change, finding meaning, or enhancing strengths.

I support individuals who have come to a point in their life where things are “just not right”, whether it is a general feeling of dissatisfaction, loss of meaning, or a specific situation causing them significant distress (e.g. issues in relationships, health, workplace,…). Opening a safe space to share what is going on is a first step towards feeling better and moving forward. Sometimes, exploring past events and emotions brings an understanding that can appease and help to let go. When you are ready, I work with you to better understand your context, resources and obstacles, and help you build a more grounded and meaningful life.

How does acceptance and commitment therapy work?
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages a person to listen to their self-talk. A person’s inner dialog can be indicative of how they treat themselves. ACT also encourages self-compassion; this can lead to a better understanding of negative thought patterns and emotional states. This understanding can then lead the individual to needed behavior change.
What are the goals of acceptance and commitment therapy?
The goal of acceptance and commitment is to expand a person’s psychological flexibility, a trait that encourages an individual to live in the present moment and to accept all their thoughts, feelings, and emotions, even ones that are difficult such as sadness and anxiety. In ACT, this acceptance is congruent with the individual’s values and beliefs.
Does acceptance and commitment therapy work for depression?
Acceptance and commitment therapy is effective for depression because it allows the individual to view their discomfort and suffering differently. Depressive feelings about relationship heartaches, for example, are a part of life. A despondent person learns to let go of their struggles and instead view their painful thoughts and feelings with compassion. This will lead the individual toward positive change.
How long are people typically in acceptance and commitment therapy?
A typical acceptance and commitment therapy session is 50 minutes long with one session per week. Treatment for common problems such as anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties can last between eight weeks to four months. However, more severe cases may require more than one session a week and/or a longer time frame for treatment.
