Improving your present situation

One of the reasons that I really think Person Centred therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) work well together is that they’re both inherently optimistic. What I mean by this is that both approaches refuse to accept that people don’t have the ability within themselves for positive change. They’re not saying it will be easy or straightforward, but it’s possible.

I know from my own experience of coping with a long-term medical health condition, improving your present situation is definitely possible with the right practitioner. Using skills and with a compassionate and understanding environment, we can ally ourselves with a future that is hopeful and filled with possibility. Even when it’s really difficult, and it’s important to acknowledge when this is so, it’s still possible to leave room for hope. We all deserve to leave room for hope.
