What People Say About Our Courses

Dr. Steven Hayes

Russ Harris is brilliant in his ability to sniff out needless complexity and present complex clinical ideas in an accessible way. He has brought his clinical creativity to new methods and new ways of getting to the heart of these issues with clients. That is a great combination and a significant contribution

Dr. Kirk D. Strosahl

Russ Harris is the consummate ACT clinician and a dynamite trainer. He makes ACT concepts easy to understand and implement in real time clinical practice. He has a real passion for ACT work and his training methods are absolutely first rate. I would highly recommend his training system to anyone who really wants to learn the ins and outs of ACT!

Ian Guyah-LowPsychologist - Toddington, United Kingdom

It is broken down really well to understand each element in easily manageable chunks so you can really see how the model comes together and how to apply it in your day to day practice. This is a skill Russ has to really make things laser-focused in an easily digestible way.

Wilhelm G. Karlsson Clinical Psychologist - Münster, Germany

"Incredible course content which has broadened my understanding of cbt on many levels and likely sealed my commitment for ACT as my therapy form of choice. I will try to extend my practical experience with my clients and get involved in ACT research down the road, because how deeply it resonates with me and my therapeutic values. Thank you so much for this course Russ!"
