From finding the right therapist to easy scheduling, Fettle therapy makes it easier to start feeling better by giving you access to personalised support from licensed ACT professionals on a flexible online platform.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a modern, evidence-based approach that helps you develop psychological flexibility—the ability to be present, open up to difficult experiences, and take action guided by your values. Unlike approaches that try to eliminate negative thoughts, ACT teaches you to change your relationship with them, reducing their impact while you build a meaningful life.
In ACT sessions, you'll explore your values—what truly matters to you—and learn mindfulness and acceptance skills. Sessions include experiential exercises, metaphors, and practical techniques you can use in daily life. You'll practice being present, defusing from unhelpful thoughts, and taking committed action toward a life aligned with your values. Most people notice shifts within 8-12 sessions.
Our matching process connects you with an ACT therapist who understands your specific challenges—whether that's anxiety, depression, chronic pain, or feeling stuck in life. You can let us match you based on your needs and goals, or browse therapist profiles to find someone who resonates with you. All our ACT therapists are fully trained in this approach and deliver therapy via secure video.
Online ACT removes the barriers to getting support. No commuting, no waiting rooms—connect from wherever feels comfortable for you. Research shows online ACT is just as effective as in-person sessions. Many clients find that being in a familiar environment actually helps them engage more deeply with the experiential exercises that make ACT so powerful.

Everything you need to know about ACT therapy
ACT works to reprogram how the mind responds to thoughts. Therefore, ACT teaches the mind to accept and embrace thoughts instead of resisting, judging, or feeling guilty.
Though CBT and ACT appear the same, they are particularly different. Cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) helps one to pinpoint and change thoughts that are negative. While ACT helps one to understand that in life, there will be pain and the practice of acceptance, instead of trying to change your thoughts, whether good or bad, will make the difference.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches clients how to act more in keeping with their own self-proclaimed values while committing to being mindful and accepting of experiences outside of their control.
With ACT therapy, there is no set time to see results. However, you can expect to have short-term results gained in as fast as one session to long-term results gained after numerous sessions. In essence, results with ACT therapy are gradual and guarantee a steady improvement with each session.
The main techniques used in ACT include mindfulness (connecting with the present moment), cognitive defusion, identification of values, acceptance, and commitment to action.
Here at Fettle, we understand that finding a good and trusted therapist can be a task. However, we are devoted to offering quality counselling always with your needs in mind. When choosing the best therapist to suit your needs, it's essential to know the areas to consider and how to get started.
