Acceptance & Commitment Therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a unique and creative model for therapy or coaching, based on the innovative use of mindfulness and values. The aims of ACT are to reduce psychological suffering and maximise potential for a rich and meaningful life; to cultivate health, vitality and well-being through mindful values-based living.

His workshops are suitable for psychologists, psychiatrists, GPs, social workers, mental health nurses, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, dietitians, BCBAs, naturopaths, counsellors and coaches.
