Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
What is ACT Therapy?
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is an evidence-based approach that helps you relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings, while taking practical steps towards the life you want. At Hampstead Psychology, we offer Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for anxiety and stress in Hampstead and Marylebone, London, as well as online, as part of our work with professionals who want therapy that is both psychologically grounded and genuinely useful.
How ACT Works
ACT doesn’t aim to eliminate unwanted thoughts or emotions. Instead, it helps you build psychological flexibility — the capacity to stay present, make room for inner experience, and choose actions guided by your values. Over time, this reduces the grip of avoidance, overthinking and self-judgement, and supports steadier wellbeing and more purposeful behaviour.
What ACT Can Help With
ACT can be helpful for a wide range of difficulties, including anxiety and persistent worry, low mood and loss of motivation, stress and burnout, chronic pain and long-term health conditions, OCD and intrusive thoughts, trauma-related difficulties, emotional avoidance, and self-critical thinking.
Private ACT Therapy with Experienced Psychologists
ACT is well suited to high-functioning individuals who value insight and want a therapy that translates into day-to-day change. We offer ACT therapy delivered by experienced clinical and counselling psychologists, tailored to your goals, your context and what you want to be different.
