Hi, I’m Paul Hughes.
I have two decades of experience helping people to make sense of the struggles they encounter in their everyday lives. By experiencing a non-judgmental relationship in a containing space with me, you can begin to think and talk about what is troubling and difficult for you, thereby allowing you to make more positive changes in your life. It is only when we get to know something of our difficulties and begin to notice how they affect us, in the here and now, that we can begin to think about changing our behaviour.
I am a Psychotherapist and Counsellor working with individuals in private practice, in education settings and in professional work-places. I work with people from an integrative perspective meaning that while I utilise different models of psychotherapy and counselling, such as psychodynamic, person centred, humanistic and group-analytic - I do so by meeting you where you are at and applying the most suitable model from there. My work is always led by you.
Education and Qualifications:
I have a Masters of Science Degree in Applied Group Analytic Studies from UCD School of Medicine and Medical Science in St. Vincent’s University Hospital’s School of Psychotherapy, an honours BA in Counselling and Psychotherapy from DBS and a diploma in Group Work Practice.
Professional Memberships
I am a fully accredited member of the Irish Association of Humanistic and Integrative Psychotherapy (IAHIP) and a registered member of the Irish Council for Psychotherapy (ICP).
