An Introduction to Acceptance and Commitment Coaching
A growing body of evidence shows that Acceptance and Commitment Coaching (ACC) is a very effective technique for learning new behaviours that support psychological well-being in the workplace and beyond. Based on the framework of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which had great success in clinical populations, the techniques taught in ACC focus on mindfulness and acceptance, and committed, values-based action to help people make meaningful change in their lives.
Acceptance and Commitment Coaching is based on the premise that difficult thoughts and emotions are simply part of the human experience. If we can learn skills to accept, make room for, and move through them, and take action towards what is important to us, we can move through feelings of distress, indecision and stagnancy.
During this one-hour introduction to the Acceptance and Commitment Coaching Framework you will learn:
- Foundations of the ACT model
- Introduction to psychological flexibility and the Hexaflex
- Open up, be present and do what matters – the 3 core components of ACT
- 5 ACT-based techniques to try when thoughts and feelings are keeping you stuck
- Applications for ACT in life and in the workplace
I'm very much looking forward to introducing you to this wonderful framework!
Hi, I'm Isabelle!
I cannot wait to introduce you to the fascinating and empowering world of ACT!
I am a psychologist and professional development coach with a data-driven, evidence-based approach. I'm all about leveraging behavioural science to facilitate meaningful, values driven change for the people I work with.
I've undertaken hours of training on the ACT framework, use it with great success with my clients, AND use its principles daily on myself, to help me maintain a psychologically healthy and values-driven mindset, as well as navigate challenging situations.
I have two Psychology degrees (BSc, MSc), a professional coaching diploma, with accreditation (ACC) and I've also worked in clinical science for over twenty years. So you can expect a well-researched, rigorous approach to my training and development programs.
I aim to make training fun, engaging and full of thought provoking discussion! I can't wait to support you as you equip yourself with a varied toolbox of psychological skills to support your psychological health and business performance by learning how to take meaningful ACTion towards the life you want.
