Proven Therapies and Validated Assessments
When you first make contact, your ACT Curious therapist will listen carefully and discuss your needs, preferences, challenges and desired outcomes.
Your therapist may also use validated clinical measures to assess your symptoms and improvement over time. Common mental health issues, including anxiety or depression, can be tracked using validated tools such as PHQ-9 and the GAD-7.
Gathering and evaluating client feedback is standard practice for all ACT Curious therapists. This ensures we provide better-tailored therapy.
To ensure we continue to meet the needs of everyone with access to ACT Curious EAP services, we also conduct regular staff surveys at our client organisations. Survey results provide valuable baseline information in conjunction with regular reports on EAP utilisation.

Our ACT Curious therapists use this research and other systematic literature reviews as part of their ongoing professional development, to ensure they recommend the best therapy for the needs of every client.
