Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and DNA-V
Louise has been involved with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) for 20 years. In 2015, Louise and co-author Joseph Ciarrochi developed DNA-V – a framework that focuses on growth and development in adolescents and adults.
DNA-V is an evidence-based framework that promotes psychological strength, values consistent living, daily vitality, and motivation toward life goals. It is designed to help people cope with stress and build meaningful change.

What ACT Leaders Say About Louise Hayes' Training
“DNA-V is one of the most important innovations in ACT in the last several years and is arguably THE most important in work with adolescents. Louise Hayes is a master of that model and there is no one on the planet who is better at explaining it, and teaching and modelling the skills needed to use it. Louise is a worldwide treasure. I can highly recommend her training and if you attend one of them I predict you will soon feel the same way.”
