Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Counselling in Rochester
Rather than analysing, or tell you how to feel and act, I walk alongside you in your discovery for answers and growth.
Are you looking to make sense of things? We seek counselling for a number of reasons including anxiety, trauma, depression, loss, stress, relationship difficulties - but also to gain a greater understanding of the ‘self’ and improve psychological well-being. Mostly and put simply, we want to learn to feel better about ourselves.

I became a therapist because I am passionate about people and improving as well as enhancing mental wellbeing. I understand that life can be a challenge and at times it may be hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel but I want to assure you that you do not have to go through life’s struggles by yourself. I am here for you and I am here with you. With your permission, I would like to come besides you and help you explore and discover events, thoughts, feelings and patterns of behaviour and together support you to make changes.

You’re someone who feels overwhelmed by stress, self-doubt, or emotional exhaustion—maybe you’re a highly sensitive person (HSP) or struggling with anxiety, burnout, or past trauma. You want to break free from old patterns, feel more grounded, and build healthier relationships, but you’re tired of just “coping.” You crave a safe space to explore your emotions, understand your triggers, and cultivate self-compassion. Online therapy appeals to you because it’s flexible, private, and removes the stress of commuting. You’re ready for deep, meaningful change, not just quick fixes.

Every individual is unique and we all respond to our environment in different and unique ways. We all deserve to be heard and within each one of us is the ability to change, transform and evolve. One of the most insightful things I’ve learnt as a mental health practitioner is that we are products of our thoughts, experiences and environment. How we think affects our worldview and determines our success in life. Our thoughts affect our physical and mental health and this may have significant impact on our present and future. We will work together to explore your feelings and how to manage your thoughts and relationships.

You might be someone who’s thoughtful and self-aware, yet still feel stuck, lost, or disconnected. On the surface, things may look fine, but something doesn’t sit right.

Here, we slow down, explore what’s going on beneath the surface, and begin to find a way forward that feels more true to you.

We use integrative methods combining Coaching Psychology, CBT, ACT, and schema-informed approaches.
I coach adults who outwardly appear to be functioning well day-to-day but, internally, feel weighed down, stuck or blocked by unhelpful thoughts, feelings or behaviours. Maybe you're dealing with a life transition, you're procrastinating, or your rumination is getting you down.
The critical point is that you're not looking for a traditional 'medical' solution. You're not 'ill', you know that if you worked through some areas, you could perform better, reach your potential or just feel more content, resilient, or happy.

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.
