Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Counselling in Rugby
I support children and young people experiencing anxiety, low mood, school distress, emotional overwhelm and low self-esteem. Many families I work with have autistic, ADHD or otherwise neurodivergent children who may feel misunderstood, exhausted from masking or struggling with daily demands. Parents often reach out when their child is avoiding school, experiencing meltdowns, withdrawing from activities or finding emotions difficult to manage. I offer a warm, supportive space where young people can better understand themselves, build confidence and develop helpful coping strategies.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ( ACT) is an action focussed therapy that links with CBT.
We all get stuck, lost and don't know which path to take at times. We often then get into patterns to help us manage, we stop doing things that make us anxious, we drink or eat more for example, but these behaviours don't always connect with the person we want to be or the life we want to live. I want to help you to get back to the things that matter to you. I offer 1:1 online and The Space to Be outdoor therapy groups to children, young people and adults. Nature is a powerful ally in therapy and having fun and creating provides opportunities to learn skills that can positively impact on your day to day life now and future growth.

I work with people experiencing anxiety, stress, anger and burnout. Typically my clients are outwardly coping but internally tense, overthinking or exhausted. This can show up as snapping at family, constant worry, difficulty switching off after work, loss of confidence, panic symptoms, or feeling stuck despite doing everything expected of them. By understanding yourself in terms of thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, you can consider change, and create your own action plan on how you can live your life better, in the way you want to.

Many people reach a point where continuing to cope in the same way no longer feels workable. I work with individuals who feel overwhelmed, or caught in patterns that no longer serve them.

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.
