Tracy McHugh

I work Tuesday,Thursday, Friday and Saturday

I'm Tracy and I am One of a Kind Counselling, named as such because I value uniqueness; yours and mine. All services that I provide are offered with kindness and compassion.

I work with life changes /transitions and also with couples.

Do you feel stuck or that you're not in control? Perhaps you need to feel seen and be heard in order to reflect on or reframe a situation or problem you have. Do you want support and space to heal, find your power and set in motion changes just for you? Then I can help.

I work with adults, in person at my office in Renfrew or online via Google Meet.

I have a particular interest in working with life changes and transitions. I often work with loss, grief and bereavement and have experience of working with people bereaved by murder and suicide. 

Loss is not limited to bereavement; loss and it's associated grief is a factor in many issues. Loss of your identity, job, business, relationship and health can be upsetting, stressful, even traumatic and therapy can provide support.

Personally I've experienced impacting losses including a marriage and the loss of the associated marital home and planned future, the loss of a much loved job due to redundancy and even the sense of losing my identity when I embarked on motherhood. I know and understand loss, acceptance and adapting and the rollercoaster of emotions that brings.

I also offer couples therapy using a very structured approach that's rooted in transactional analysis. The focus of which is to look at how we speak and respond to others and improve these so they become healthy and balanced.

I particularly enjoy offering elements of coaching in therapy depending on your needs and I like to employ the use of psychoeducation in our sessions. My belief is that if you can understand why you're feeling a particular way it can help with self awareness, alleviate fears and provide you with coping tools outwith of therapy. I want you to have the power in the therapy room and in your day to day life.
