Therapeutic Methods and Online Support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and learn practical ways to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps toward a more meaningful life. It can be useful for chronic stress, anxiety and patterns that keep someone feeling stuck.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and developing concrete skills to change them. CBT is often used for depression, sleep difficulties, anxiety and managing day-to-day routines.
