From formulation
to meaningful action.
Use the psychological flexibility model to consider avoidance, rumination, withdrawal and patterns that keep people stuck. Explore intervention choices through clinical examples, demonstration and practice.
- Connect assessment and ACT formulation to intervention decisions
- Practise defusion, acceptance, values and committed action
- Consider anxiety-related avoidance and depression-related disengagement
- Reflect on how to adapt the work to your own clinical setting
This workshop is a separate event from the annual programme. It combines depression and anxiety across two days; it does not automatically replace the two separate 2027 courses or establish credit towards an annual pathway.
Workbooks, venue arrangements, refreshments and final completion requirements will be confirmed before bookings open.
