About

Neill Hughes is an accredited and registered person-centred and CBT therapist, BACP accredited, and a certified Schema Therapist (ISST) with five years of clinical experience. He has extensive experience working with complex trauma, post-traumatic stress disorder, attachment-related difficulties, and autistic clients, and he also supports people living with anxiety, anger and depression.

His formal training includes Mentalization-Based Therapy for Families (MBT-F), CBT and trauma-focused CBT for PTSD via the Anna Freud Centre, ADOS-2 assessment training for autism, and Motivational Interviewing training at the Tavistock and Portman. He has additional training in Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills and trauma-focused CBT through the Anna Freud Centre.

Neill works collaboratively with clients to facilitate change, process grief, address trauma, build resilience and reduce unhelpful thinking patterns. He offers parental support and guidance and draws on skills from cognitive behavioural therapy and DBT to assist with emotional regulation and cognitive change.

His approach is client-led, motivational and strength-based, tailored to help individuals reach their personal goals. For people facing difficult life events he also provides a non-directive counselling approach that supports healing through acceptance, insight and self-compassion.

Neill holds a first-class BA (Hons) in person-centred counselling and psychotherapy from Middlesex University and achieved an A for both his certificate and diploma in cognitive behavioural therapy accredited through the University of the West of Scotland. Given the challenges many face when starting therapy, he aims to offer a safe, accepting and non-judgmental space in which talking about what is troubling you can help normalise the experience, bring clarity and support meaningful, lasting change.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

Many people want to know whether remote therapy can actually help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties or coping with life changes, online therapy has been shown to be as effective as traditional in-person treatment. A major benefit is flexibility - individuals can connect with their therapist in the way that suits them best, whether via video call, phone session, live chat or in-app messaging. This flexibility makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Therapists providing online care are licensed professionals, and clients may choose to switch to a different therapist if they feel another fit would be better. For many people, online therapy offers an accessible and practical option to get support for everyday mental health needs.
