Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): acceptance, values and committed action

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) belongs to the newer wave of cognitive and behavioural therapies. Rather than trying to remove painful thoughts and feelings, it helps you make room for them and choose actions that reflect what matters to you. This ability is often called psychological flexibility.

Sessions combine mindfulness exercises, defusion techniques (learning to see thoughts as thoughts), work on personal values and small, concrete steps you test in daily life. ACT is used with anxiety, depression, stress, chronic pain and rumination, among other difficulties.

The pace and the number of sessions depend on your goals; a therapist trained in ACT will explain how progress is reviewed.

Life on the Riviera can look easy from the outside, yet newcomers to Nice often go through a demanding adjustment, and ACT is one way to find support. Sessions combine mindfulness exercises, work on personal values and small committed steps that you test between sessions.

You can choose a therapist who works in English, French or another language; the languages are listed on every profile. Many complementary health insurances (mutuelles) and international expat policies reimburse part of private sessions, so it is worth checking your contract. The first session is a good moment to talk about your expectations and see whether ACT suits you.
