Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Counselling in Haverhill
I often draw on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ( ACT) as a way of supporting clients to learn skills on being more mindfully aware of their experience and in taking steps towards a more meaningful life.
Hi, I’m Jonathan. As a Clinical Psychologist I can help if you're struggling with stress, low mood, anxiety, panic, feelings of shame, low self‑esteem, and more. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from your sense of purpose, I provide a compassionate space to explore this and support you towards meaningful change.

Something isn't quite right — and you can't quite name it. You're managing on the outside, but underneath there's pressure, exhaustion, or a persistent sense that something important is going unaddressed.
I work with adults navigating anxiety, stress, burnout, low mood, life transitions, relationship difficulties, ADHD, and neurodivergence. You don't need to arrive with a clear problem or a label; most of what matters doesn't fit neatly into either.
Whatever brings you here, I'm glad you found your way. This is a space to slow down, look properly, and find out what's actually there.

Together we'll develop sustainable systems while building genuine self- acceptance, moving beyond constant striving.
Do you feel trapped in cycles of perfectionism, constantly striving yet never feeling "good enough"?

The constant overthinking, procrastination, and feeling like an impostor is exhausting.

Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Counsellors
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.
