Bringing mindfulness to stuck-ness; easing psychological inflexibility to promote wellbeing, resilience and behaviour changes that will move you in those directions that matter most to you.
At the core of most emotional and psychological problems lies a pattern of rigid psychological inflexibility. Such patterns are often formed in our early personal history; or as a result of traumatic life events. Mindfulness offers ways of being, techniques, and practices that enhance psychological flexibility thus enabling a person to respond (rather than reacting according to the habitual inflexible pattern) with fresh behaviours that move them in meaningful and valued directions that they choose for themselves.
Mindfulness can help with: Chronic Pain, Addiction, Anger, Depression, Anxiety, Stress

ACT
ACT is a scientific approach with an emphasis on values, forgiveness, acceptance, compassion, living in the present moment, and accessing a transcendent sense of self. Reducing symptoms is a by-product rather than the goal of treatment. It has been called “an existential humanistic CBT".
