Christian Hughes

Professional Profile

I’m Christian K. Hughes, a BABCP-accredited psychotherapist, clinical supervisor and trainer, with 17+ years’ experience in mental health, across the Military, NHS specialist complex treatment services and private practice. I help individuals and couples stuck in unworkable patterns and struggling with distress—including anxiety, depression, trauma/PTSD, moral injury, burnout, and relationship breakdown.

My approach is direct, structured and compassionate: drawing on evidence-based methods—CBT, ACT, CFT and EMDR — we map what keeps the problem going, reduce distress so you can think clearly, and build practical skills you can use to move you towards your goals, with treatment plans tailored to your individual circumstances. In couples work, we focus on identifying and changing the unworkable dynamics between you and your partner, rebuilding trust, and building more effective relationships that foster genuine closeness and intimacy.

Sessions are collaborative and goal-focused. Working from thorough assessment, we will agree a tailored plan, actively working together to move towards your goals, with regular reviews to ensure we stay on track. If you want therapy that’s practical, evidence-based and focused on active change, I’ll help you move forward towards a life with more of what matters most to you.

I abide by the professional and ethical standards laid down by the BABCP and I have full professional indemnity and current DBS clearance.
