Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
in Sydney and the Sutherland Shire

At Evolving Minds Counselling and Psychology, our psychologists and counsellors provide Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) for children, adolescents and adults across Sydney and the Sutherland Shire. Appointments are available in person at our Menai practice in the Sutherland Shire and online across Australia.​​

​

What is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy?

 

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is an evidence-based approach that focuses on changing how people relate to their thoughts and emotions, rather than trying to eliminate them. It is often used when people feel stuck in overthinking, self-criticism, anxiety, or efforts to avoid difficult feelings.

​

ACT works on the understanding that efforts to control or avoid difficult thoughts and emotions can make them more persistent. Therapy focuses on noticing these experiences without becoming caught up in them, reducing their impact over time.

 

​​​ACT is one of several evidence-based therapies used in counselling and may be recommended depending on your needs and goals.

​

What does ACT help with?

​

ACT may be used for:

• anxiety, chronic worry and overthinking

• stress and emotional overwhelm

• low mood

• difficulties with self-criticism

• building psychological flexibility alongside other therapy

​

ACT is often used alongside other approaches such as cognitive behavioural therapy, eating disorder counselling or relationship counselling, depending on each person's presentation.
