Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) gets its name from one of its core messages: accept what is out of your personal control, and commit to action that improves and enriches your life. The aim of ACT is to maximise your potential for living a rich, full and meaningful life. ACT does this by:

a) teaching you psychological skills to help you deal with your painful thoughts and feelings effectively - in such a way that they have much less impact and influence over you (these are known as mindfulness skills).

b) helping you to clarify what is truly important and meaningful to you, and then uses that knowledge to guide, inspire and motivate you to change your life for the better
