ACT Model

Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a thoroughly researched positive psychology model for improving the way we relate to our inner & outer world and can help us to improve our emotional health and wellbeing by boosting psychological flexibility.

ACT boosts psychological flexibility – the mental strength skills needed to pivot and move in a life direction even when in the presence of really difficult experiences. It is one of the most widely used and researched mindfulness-based and acceptance psychological interventions with approx. 1000 studies under its belt over the last 35 years covering everything from stress and anxiety, to performance and motivation.  ACT is recognised as a significant and effective mental health intervention by official agency and country guidelines around the world, such as the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines here in the UK and the World Health Organisation (WHO) guidelines.

Accessibility to quality support is essential if we are to really change our perception of what mental health really means to us.

The model shows unequivocally that ACT’s life-changing skills and tools empowers people to sustainably pursue and focus on what is important to them in life, whilst also significantly improving their overall emotional health and well-being. U Parallel’s coaching model is one of the most positive and effective ways to change the way we relate to our mental health, in both our personal and professional lives.
