Already know the basics of ACT and ready to go deeper?
ACT II explores what happens when Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is brought to life in real clinical contexts.
Using presentations such as anxiety, depression, OCD, addiction, chronic pain and trauma as themes, we focus on the underlying processes that cut across human experience rather than diagnostic labels.
Together, over 10 weeks, we’ll explore psychological flexibility, therapist stance, compassion, curiosity, case material, experiential exercises and reflective practice, helping you develop a more grounded and confident way of using ACT in the real world.
The course is designed to help you move beyond theory, exploring how the Hexaflex processes can be applied, adapted and brought to life across a range of clinical presentations and real-world contexts.
The course is open to all who completed ACT I or similar introductory level ACT course.
