Introduction to the Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) model in ONE minute! with Dr Joe Oliver

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (said as one word – ‘ACT’) is, a widely recognised and evidence-based approach to psychotherapy. Its main focus is to increase psychological flexibility and promote meaningful behaviour change through the use of acceptance and mindfulness.

ABOUT CONTEXTUAL CONSULTING
Contextual Consulting was founded in 2012 by Dr Joe Oliver, a clinical psychologist, and associate professor at University College London. The business was born out of Joe’s deep passion for acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), both in his professional practice and personal life, Joe recognised the immense potential of ACT as a widely recognised and evidence-based approach to psychotherapy, in facilitating positive transformations and personal growth. A primary goal for him was to share the principles of acceptance and commitment training to a wide audience, enabling more individuals to benefit from it.

In recent years, there has been a remarkable surge in global interest and engagement with ACT across various fields and disciplines. This exponential growth reflects the increasing desire for individuals worldwide to deepen their understanding and application of ACT principles in their personal and professional lives.

We’ve grown into a team of presenters, therapists and support staff over the last decade but our goal continues to be the connection of the ACT community through training, supervision and therapy referrals.
