THERE WILL BE A LIGHT
Psychologist CARLY HUGHES
I obtained my degree in the UK before emigrating to Australia in 2009. I have previously worked in community mental health where I managed and supported a team of mental health workers and assisted people who experience long-term mental health difficulties, to increase their independence and quality of life.
I have two beautiful children who keep me on my toes, and who have sparked a passion in me to learn and practice positive parenting and to support others in their perinatal journey. In my spare time, I love to spend time with friends and family, to read and learn, and to travel.
Clinical Approach
I have a warm, friendly and compassionate approach and enjoy bringing my down-to-earth nature to each relationship. I believe it is important to engage young people and children in a fun and interactive manner, to ensure comfort and openness and to enhance therapeutic work. I believe in a holistic and individual approach to wellbeing and use an integrated therapeutic approach which often incorporates:
- Psychoeducation
- Neuro-psychotherapy
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
- Solution Focused Therapy
- Narrative Therapy
- Mindfulness
