Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Counselling in Hounslow
I wonder if you have been feeling sad, stressed or anxious? Have these feelings been with you for a long time? Are you wondering when they will reappear? It’s like dreading what is around the corner and finding it hard to enjoy or feel good in the present. Other people look like they’re having fun but your world is a shade of grey. Things that you loved doing no longer give you happiness and it's hard to concentrate. At times it takes lots of energy to go out or spend time with people who care about you. Your confidence and ability to cope disappear as you become stuck and the people around you become as worn down as you feel.

As an HCPC-registered Clinical Psychologist, I provide tailored, evidence-based therapy integrating CBT, DBT, ACT, EMDR, mindfulness and psychodynamic approaches.
You may appear capable and composed on the outside, yet internally feel anxious, low, emotionally overwhelmed, or stuck in repeating relationship patterns. Perhaps you overthink, struggle to switch off, or notice intense emotional reactions that are hard to manage. Past experiences may still shape how you see yourself and others. You want greater clarity, emotional balance, and healthier ways of relating — not just coping strategies, but deeper understanding and meaningful, lasting change.

I work very relationally, often helping my clients make sense of themselves and their difficulties through understanding early experiences, current relationships and their therapeutic relationship with me, and how patterns in one area can often offer understandings about another. I draw on a range of therapeutic models and modalities, including psychodynamic, person-centred, existential, cognitive and behavioural, transactional analysis, and attachment theory. My starting point is always the client, and I believe strongly that the therapy should fit the client, not the other way around.

I primarily offer CBT and CBT-E, alongside integrating DBT, ACT and Compassion-Focused approaches where helpful.
Living with an eating disorder can be really difficult. Between guilt around food, constant body checking, and pressure to look a certain way, it can feel as if your mind is stuck in a loop that’s hard to step out of.
Many feel caught between two different versions of themselves: one that believes control over food or weight is crucial, and another that knows there is more to life than rules and self-criticism, but doesn’t know how to make lasting change. This can bring doubt, but your experience is very human and manageable.
There is a place where food feels more neutral, choices come from self-trust, and worth comes from within.

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.
