🌿 Not Sure Which Type of Therapist Is Right for You?

 

Choosing the right kind of therapist can feel confusing - especially with so many options available. Whether you’re looking for emotional healing, physical support, energy work, or spiritual guidance, this page is here to help you find the right fit for you.

We’ve created this interactive guide to help you explore different types of therapists - what they offer, how sessions work, and who they tend to support. Some therapies are talk-based, others are hands-on, and some work more intuitively with energy or the nervous system. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach - and you don’t need to know exactly what you need to get started.

Many therapists offer a free short session (often a phone call) to help you decide whether their work is right for your needs - and vice versa. Most are genuinely kind, compassionate people; after all, they’ve chosen a career focused on helping others feel better.

Remember

🧠 Follow your curiosity
💛 Trust your instincts
🌱 And know that you can always change direction as your needs evolve

🧠 ACT Therapist (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy)

 

What is ACT Therapy?
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a modern form of psychotherapy that helps people accept what’s out of their control and commit to actions that enrich their lives. Rather than trying to “get rid of” unpleasant thoughts or feelings, ACT teaches you how to relate to them differently — so they no longer hold you back.

ACT blends mindfulness, acceptance strategies, and behaviour change techniques to help you live more aligned with your values, even in the presence of pain or difficulty.

👤 Who It’s For

ACT is effective for:

  • Anxiety and panic disorders

  • Depression

  • OCD and intrusive thoughts

  • Chronic pain and long-term illness

  • Trauma and PTSD

  • Stress and burnout

  • Anyone feeling “stuck” or disconnected from meaning

💬 What to Expect in a Session

ACT therapists help you:

  • Become more aware of difficult thoughts, emotions, or sensations

  • Use mindfulness tools to observe rather than resist discomfort

  • Clarify your personal values (e.g. creativity, connection, freedom)

  • Take small steps toward those values — even with discomfort present

Sessions are collaborative, often practical, and tailored to your life goals.

🌱 Benefits

  • Helps reduce avoidance and rumination

  • Improves emotional resilience and mental flexibility

  • Promotes values-based living over symptom control

  • Empowers you to take action in meaningful areas of life
