Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (or ACT) offers a radical new understanding of human well-being, and has become one of the best studied intervention approaches in all of psychology – based on more than four decades of research, with over 1,400 randomized controlled trials and thousands of studies of other kinds.
By targeting psychological flexibility and its social and bodily extensions – the core processes known to underlie meaningful change – ACT empowers you to help your clients across a wide range of problem areas and aspirational goals in mental and behavioral health and social wellness areas.
Whether they are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or addiction; or are dealing with the challenges of physical disease, or want to be a better parent or partner, ACT can help them.
Because of its high effectiveness and broad applicability, ACT has found wide-spread appeal among practitioners around the world, and has been endorsed as evidence-based by such agencies as the American Psychological Association and the World Health Organization. Regardless of whether you consider yourself a complete beginner or experienced in other approaches, ACT BootCamp® will help you acquire a proven skill-set that will help your clients make effective, long-lasting changes.
Following the success of our first European edition in 2025, the ACT BootCamp® is back. Last year’s feedback was overwhelmingly positive, and it left us wanting more. That is why we are organizing the second edition of this unique event in Eindhoven at the end of February 2027. This location was a conscious choice: Eindhoven is easily accessible for international participants from all major airports in the region, but also offers more space to network informally and truly connect with your fellow attendees on-site.

Learning objectives
The Foundation of ACT
In this workshop, you’ll gain a deep understanding of the psychological flexibility model and build the skills to apply Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) with competence and confidence. Since the program is designed and led by ACT originator Dr. Steven C. Hayes, it is uniquely suited for both beginners and experienced professionals. You will explore the latest developments in the field directly from the source, ensuring your approach is at the forefront of the model.
Over the course of four days, Drs. Steven C. Hayes, Robyn D. Walser, and Gijs Jansen will walk you step-by-step through the theory and practice of ACT, featuring trainer demonstrations, experiential exercises, practice sessions, and feedback from your peers.
This workshop will teach you…
- How to support your clients with ACT, while accounting for their individual needs and personal goals.
- How to fluidly apply the six core processes of change: acceptance, defusion, presence, self-as-context, chosen purpose, and committed action.
- How to recognize the early signs of inflexibility, so you know when and how your clients get stuck – both in session and outside of it.
- How to creatively pivot to psychological flexibility, by building your own toolkit with practical techniques, experiential exercises, and insightful metaphors
- How to enhance the therapeutic relationship, by keeping your clients engaged and motivated throughout the process, and committed to change.
