CHRISTIAN K HUGHES
Evidence-based therapy in Stourbridge — and online across the UK
If you’re dealing with anxiety, trauma symptoms, low mood, burnout, or relationship strain, I can help you understand what is keeping you stuck and identify a clear way forward.
​
I’m Christian Hughes, a BABCP-accredited Psychotherapist. I offer structured, evidence-based, therapy that focuses on what keeps the problem going — and what will actually change it.
You can work with me in person in Stourbridge, or online across the UK.
What working together looks like
Therapy with me isn’t vague or endless. It’s collaborative, practical, and built around your goals.
1) We get clear on the pattern
We map what’s happening — understanding the thoughts, emotions, body reactions, behaviours, and the situations they occur in, to understand how problems develop and are maintained.
2) We make changes that make meaningful and lasting difference outside of the therapy room
That might mean CBT skills, behavioural change, trauma-focused work, or acceptance/values-based strategies, chosen because they fit the the specifics of your individual difficulties and circumstances.
3) We track progress and adjust - our work is always collaborative. You'll know what we’re doing and why. We review whether it’s working and change course if needed.

How I can help
Individual therapy
For anxiety, overthinking, low mood, trauma symptoms, burnout, confidence issues, and patterns you can’t shift on your own. Individual psychological therapy draws from a range of evidence-based psychological approaches including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, EMDR Therapy, and Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT).
Relationship therapy
For couples stuck in repeating conflict, emotional distance, loss of trust, resentment, or “we can’t communicate without it going wrong”.
EMDR Therapy
Specialist trauma focused therapy with a focus on reducing the impact of intrusive or distressing memories.
