About Christian K Hughes Psychotherapist, ACT Trainer & Supervisor

I'm Christian K Hughes — a behavioural psychotherapist, clinical supervisor, and trainer specialising in trauma, moral injury, psychological flexibility, and the application of ACT in complex settings. I began my career as a military mental health clinician in the British Army and have since worked across the NHS, veteran services, and private practice.

Today, I work with individuals, teams, and organisations to apply behavioural science in ways that are grounded, compassionate, and practical — from individual therapy to supervision and workplace training. My approach always centres on building psychological flexibility, resilience, and purpose in the face of complexity.

​Clinical Experience

My clinical journey began as a military mental health clinician in the British Army, providing psychological support to service members. Since then, I have worked across NHS secondary care, specialist & veteran services, and private practice, helping individuals navigate complex trauma, moral injury, and significant life transitions.

​

I utilise a range of therapeutic approaches, including:

  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

  • Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT)

  • Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR)

These modalities allow me to tailor therapy to each individual's needs, fostering psychological flexibility and resilience.

​

Supervision and Training

In addition to clinical work, I provide supervision and training to professionals

​

My offerings include:

  • Clinical Supervision: Supporting therapists and clinicians in their practice.

  • Workshops and Training: Delivering in-depth training on ACT, CBT, trauma, and moral injury.

  • Consultation: Assisting organisations in developing psychologically informed practices.
    ​

I have delivered training and consultation for organisations across the NHS, Ministry of Defence, and third sector, always aiming to make behavioural science accessible and applicable.

​

Organisational Work

Through Acceptance and Commitment Training (ACT), I help organisations, teams, and leaders build psychological flexibility — enhancing resilience, wellbeing, and performance under pressure. My training programs are experiential and tailored to meet the unique needs of each organisation.
