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.
