Natasha Duchene MA, RCC, SEP

I am a Somatic Experiencing® practitioner and Registered Therapeutic Counsellor based in Yellowknife, NT. I work with individuals, couples, and children over the age of 10. My sessions are covered by most health insurance plans.

Please note, as of September 10, 2026, I will be moving to a hybrid practice which is mostly virtual. In person sessions remain available until then, with the next block of in person sessions available in November, 2026. I will continue to offer virtual sessions to both individuals and couples.

Book A Session Hold Me Tight Workshop for Couples - August 14 - 16, 2026

I am a Somatic Experiencing® practitioner, registered therapeutic counsellor, and arts-based facilitator based in Yellowknife, NT. I use a mix of top-down (cognitive/behavioural), somatic (body and mindfulness-oriented), and arts-based approaches. I am certified in Somatic Experiencing®, a modality that seeks to resolve trauma that is stored in the body. With couples, I primarily use emotion-focused couples therapy, a modality that aims to heal relationship through a focus on attachment.

I see my work as being to walk alongside you with a mix of cheerleading, deep listening, and inviting inquiry into sometimes challenging places. I am committed to approaching our conversations with curiosity, openness, and non-judgement to activate your strengths and resources, creativity, and insight.

You can expect a process that is:

* Experiential: we won’t just talk about change, we will try things out in session to find out what works.

* Compassionate: You didn't choose this. I’m here to support you to approach yourself with the same kindness and respect that you give to others. (and if the idea of self-compassion makes you want to run away screaming, I’m here for that, too.)

* Driven by your values: what matters most to you? Inviting enlivening discussions that bring you closer to your true center while making room for the realities of life.
