PANDAS Therapy Programme
About the therapy
ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) is a CBT approach that emphasises acceptance of thoughts and emotions, and commitment to valued actions. Its efficiency is well-supported by numerous studies, showing effectiveness in treating various mental health conditions including anxiety, depression, and stress. Research demonstrates that ACT can lead to significant improvements in psychological flexibility, resilience, and overall well-being, making it a valuable tool for addressing mental health concerns during pregnancy, parenthood and beyond.

We’ve had some lovely feedback from previous participants, including comments like this…
“Such an amazing course that has changed the way I cope with both little and big struggles that life throws my way. Would recommend that all parents should do this course!”
“This has given me a completely different relationship with myself. I felt overwhelmed and didn’t think I couldn’t process anything else going wrong, but now I know that I have space for difficult feelings and can accept them. It has equipped me with the tools I need to work towards enjoying and focusing on the present moment. The 6 weeks has flown by, I have enjoyed every session, thank you so much PANDAS.”
“This was fantastic! I highly recommend it. Kathryn is a very empathic, skilled Coach- and gently armed us all with brilliant tools, techniques and information to help us navigate our emotional seas. Thanks so much”
“I learnt some really useful, straightforward tools to use ‘in the moment’. It gave me an opportunity and a push to think about my values and the kind of parent I want to be / life I want to live. It felt like a safe, friendly space.”
