Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is an evidence-based approach in counselling that encourages individuals to accept their thoughts and feelings rather than avoid them. This method focuses on six core processes: Acceptance, Cognitive Defusion, Being Present, Self-as-Context, Values, and Committed Action. By fostering these skills, clients learn to navigate life's challenges and pursue meaningful goals. ACT has shown promising results in improving mental health and overall well-being.
