Kathlyn McHugh — RCC, RSW —

I provide counselling and coaching for individuals, couples and families.  I also provide consultation and supervisory support for therapists in the field of psychotherapy and social work.

Some folks come to see me because they have a problem, have experienced something challenging in their lives, have a history of trauma, or want to reclaim or discover their life purpose. They may need support to blossom and become empowered creatively, relationally, or experientially.  My goal is to disrupt and correct old patterns that no longer sustain and inspire one’s life.  Instead, I seek to facilitate embodiment, enlivenment, and connection to self, others, nature and spirit.

I draw from an eclectic and varied background working with folks from all walks of life. My practice incorporates relationally oriented somatic attachment therapy, affect regulation, the creative connection to nature, the imaginal, and ancient cross-cultural wisdom.  I lean into emergent neuroscience, interpersonal psychoanalytic psychotherapy, attachment theory, and embodied practises in order to help my clients live their lives more fully.

  • A Holistic Approach to Personal and Relational Transformation

    In my work, I combine evidence-based therapeutic methods with intuitive, energetic processes that help you connect with your inner wisdom, your authentic self, and the deeper layers of your soul’s journey. Through this multidimensional approach, we’ll explore the emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects of your life to unlock greater understanding and healing.

    Drawing on a blend of relational somatic attachment therapy and advanced tools for spiritual guidance, I help you access insights from your higher consciousness, subtle energies, and soul-level knowledge—resources that can provide clarity and direction in every area of your life.

    The integration of these practices allows for a more complete and dynamic healing experience. Here's how:

    • I facilitate a process where you can tap into your inner wisdom and align with your highest potential. This helps you make choices that are authentic, empowered, and aligned with your soul’s purpose.

    • By working with spiritual guides and intuitive wisdom, we can uncover limiting patterns and beliefs that may be holding you back. This process allows for deep insight, healing, and direction, fostering growth in all areas of life.

    • Using specific, safe methods, we can explore the Akashic Records—a metaphysical library of your soul’s history and potential. This helps you gain a clearer understanding of past experiences, ancestral influences, and the soul-level lessons that shape your current life. By reviewing this information, we can identify patterns, release energetic blockages, and empower you to step into your highest path.

    This holistic approach supports personal and relational healing on all levels—mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical—bringing together the best of both traditional and intuitive methods. The ultimate goal is to help you feel more connected to your true self and others, so you can live a life that’s more aligned, joyful, and authentic.

  • Welcome to a Journey of Deep Transformation and Connection

    Are you ready to step into a new chapter of your life, where you can experience more authenticity, joy, and deeper connection with yourself and others? I specialize in working with individuals, families, and couples who are excited to create lasting transformation in their relationships and personal lives.

    As a trained psychotherapist in relational somatic attachment therapy, I integrate powerful tools from the world of the mind, body, and spirit to help you understand and heal your past, align with your highest potential, and move forward with a sense of clarity and purpose.

    Through a unique blend of traditional therapeutic methods and intuitive guidance from my higher self, spirit guides, and the Akashic Records, I provide a holistic approach that supports you in uncovering the deeper layers of your soul’s purpose. This work can help you build stronger relationships, foster emotional healing, and tap into a deeper sense of fulfillment and connection with your higher self.

    Whether you're looking to heal past wounds, deepen your relationships, or align with a more authentic version of yourself, my goal is to guide you with love, compassion, and a deep sense of safety. I’m here to help you explore new possibilities and unlock the truth of who you are, all while bringing in a sense of fun, creativity, and ease to our work together.

    If you’re ready to embrace a higher level of self-awareness, explore your spiritual connection, and transform your relationships, I would love to guide you on this incredible journey.
