ACT, Values Work, & Mindfulness-Based Therapy

You don’t have to control everything to move forward.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps you relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings—not by fighting them, but by making space for them while focusing on what matters. Combined with mindfulness and values-based work, this approach supports clarity, calm, and purpose—even during uncertain or challenging times.

What is Somatic & Nervous System Work

ACT is a modern, evidence-based therapy that blends mindfulness, self-compassion, and behaviour change. It helps you notice when your mind pulls you into self-criticism, worry, or avoidance—and gently shift your focus back to meaningful action.

Rather than trying to “get rid of” pain or discomfort, ACT teaches you how to live with more freedom and alignment, even when life is hard.

What issues are these approaches helpful for?

  • Anxiety, overthinking, and perfectionism

  • Depression and low motivation

  • People-pleasing and avoidance patterns

  • Burnout, life transitions, or identity shifts

  • Feeling stuck or disconnected from meaning

How ACT & Mindfulness-Based Therapy Can Help

  • Develop more flexibility in how you respond to difficult thoughts or emotions

  • Reconnect with your values and goals

  • Make choices from intention, not fear or habit

  • Cultivate presence and reduce mental clutter

  • Build a more compassionate and curious relationship with yourself
