Helping People & Teams Thrive With Behavioural Science
Do More Of What Matters With ACT-Based Training, Supervision & Therapy

Christian K Hughes
Behavioural Psychotherapist & Trainer
I deliver Acceptance and Commitment Training (ACT) to help organisations, teams, and leaders, working in high-stakes, emotionally demanding environments, strengthen psychological flexibility — the foundation of resilience, wellbeing, and sustainable performance under pressure.
Alongside my organisational work, I’m an experienced psychotherapist with a background in military mental health and complex treatment delivery within the NHS. I also provide clinical training and supervision for mental health professionals.
Whether I’m working with individuals or systems, my focus is always the same: using practical, evidence-based psychology to help people respond to challenge with clarity, purpose, and compassion.

What is ACT?
Acceptance and Commitment Training (also known as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, when used in a clinical context) is an evidence-based model backed by over 1,000 studies. It’s designed to build psychological flexibility — the ability to stay focused, open, and values-guided, in the face of challenge.
ACT helps people:
-
Recognise and respond more effectively to stress
-
Unhook from difficult thoughts and emotions
-
Clarify what matters and take meaningful action
ACT is already in use across the NHS, emergency services, education, and the private sector. It is pragmatic, non-pathologising, and research supported approach to meaningful change.


I work with people & organisations serious about change
I deliver training for: NHS departments & staff wellbeing teams, Charities & third sector organisations, high-pressure environments, leaders looking to embed sustainable, values-led culture
ACT For Veteran Transition Training
Leaving the military is more than finding a new job. These tailored ACT workshops support military service leavers to navigate the psychological challenges of transition. These sessions focus on identity, values, and purposeful action — helping veterans adapt to civilian life with clarity, flexibility, and direction
