Course Outline

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy or ACT is a modern 21st century therapy that draws on CBT (cognitive therapy therapy) but adds a vital new dimension of FLEXIBILITY. This is a crucial quality clients to maneuver the current social context otherwise they are closed off and feel caught in tight, demanding situations.

ACT is based on 6 principles. Defusion (to create space and prevent blow up), Acceptance (to stop resisting), Being Present (being in the here and now), Committed Action (something needs to be done), Self as Context (awareness of consciousness) and Values (the pivot that gives direction). Dr Louise has condensed these 6 principles in her DNA-v model for simplicity.

ACT gives both the Counsellor and Client that vital quality called Psychological Flexibility. Come, learn the dynamics of ACT and why it has become popular as an evidenced based modality that is sweeping the world.

What values will influence us to move from “to do" people to “to be" people? ACT provides the answers.
