Welcome to another episode of 'My Pocket Psych', where Richard is joined by Dr. Rachael Skews. Rachael has just joined the WorkLifePsych team and discusses how she brings Acceptance and Commitment Theory (ACT) to life in her coaching practice.  After discussing Rachael's career journey to date, Rachael and Richard discuss how different aspects within ACT support the coaching process and how it differs from 'traditional' goal-oriented coaching. They explore the benefits of values clarification, developing the ability to see thoughts for what they are, and taking meaningful action. Finally, they outline the free webinar about introducing coaching, scheduled for March 16th.  Resources for this episode Rachael's online profile - https://www.worklifepsych.com/about-us/dr-rachael-skews/ Our page on Psychological Flexibility - https://www.worklifepsych.com/psychologicalflexibility Details of our free coaching webinar - https://www.worklifepsych.com/ConsideringCoaching
