Acceptance and commitment therapy (or ACT, pronounced as the word ‘act’) focuses on helping people to accept what is out of their personal control and commit to action that improves and enhances their life by applying mindfulness and acceptance skills.

Learning ACT skills may involve:

1. helping you to develop skills to deal more effectively with difficult thoughts and feelings, to reduce their impact and influence over you;
2. developing clarity around your values (your heart’s deepest desires for how you want to live life and behave as a human being) and encouraging you to use these values to guide, inspire and motivate yourself to take action to change your life for the better;
3. techniques to help you focus your attention on what is important and engage fully in whatever you are doing.
