Caroline Hughes

Currently taking on new clients.

I offer a safe, calm space that is empathic, authentic, and non-judgemental. I fundamentally work with a humanistic, relational approach, appreciating that each client is unique in their lived experience. I also use an integrative approach to psychotherapy, meaning I use more than one modality. For example, I integrate developmental approaches, as I align with the theories that our childhood experiences impact us into adulthood, our sense of who we are, and what we bring to our close relationships. This is often unconscious to our day-to-day awareness.

Within the therapeutic relationship, which we build together, I hope to support you in awareness around what aspects of Self may no longer serve you towards living a fulfilled life. We are ever-changing and evolving in our time here on earth; the work is never done. Therefore, the power that your self-knowledge and awareness can bring can be transformative in the long run to your quality of life and experiences. I will support your autonomy of choice, and I will not tell you what to do, yet I will offer insight, and together, we will work to align you with your true path and who you are.

The process of change occurring can be uncomfortable, as we can face certain aspects of our being and our lives with more clarity and vision. We will work together therapeutically throughout this journey, moving at an appropriate pace for you, with the hope that the destination this takes us to is life-enhancing. 

I provide individual, weekly therapy from The Practice Rooms in Broomhill, Sheffield, at £50 per hourly session. 

Before an initial session, we have a no-cost informal phone call at a convenient time; you can contact me by email, telephone, WhatsApp or text message to set this up.

We use the call as an opportunity for you to outline what brings you to therapy, your needs, feelings and goals for the therapy outcome (if you have any goals), and, importantly, to see if we feel we are a good therapeutic fit to continue. If we decide to work together, I will send you some questions to complete and a copy of our therapeutic contract.

Once therapy commences, we will explore in greater depth the issues you are facing. This initial phase is much about building trust and our therapeutic relationship together. From here, we can go more deeply into the work, at your pace.
