Dre Valérie Duguay
Licensed Clinical Psychologist
Services Offered
Two modalities of treatment are available: virtual or Walk and Talk. Choose the option that best fits your needs—or combine both.
Individual Therapy -
Virtual
I provide online therapy services for individuals seeking convenient and accessible support. Through secure and confidential virtual sessions, I offer professional guidance and personalized strategies to address various mental health concerns.
Individual Therapy -
Walk and Talk
I offer confidential individual Walk and Talk therapy. Sessions take place outside in nature. I also offer gazebo sessions in a natural setting. This is an ideal solution if you have restricted mobility or if you prefer to remain seated, as it allows you to enjoy the benefits of being outdoors.
Nurture with Nature
What is Walk and Talk and how does it work?
Walk and Talk therapy is a form of counselling that takes place outdoors, combining movement with conversation. It offers a different way to experience therapy. Walking side by side in nature can make it easier to open up, fostering a relaxed and open space for self-exploration. The gentle movement and natural surroundings help reduce stress, enhance mental clarity, and promote overall well-being. Walking and spending time in nature have been shown to lower anxiety, boost mood, and improve both physical and mental health.
Where do sessions take place?
The sessions take place in nature on my private land in Dieppe.
How does a session unfold?
We meet outside and walk at a comfortable pace along a path leading to the river. You are free to talk while walking or take breaks in different natural spots, depending on your pace and preferences. Two quiet seating areas with chairs invite moments of rest and grounding—one by the river, the other nestled in the forest. The session ends as we make our way back up the terrain, in a peaceful and calming setting.
How does confidentiality work when we are outside?
Confidentiality is preserved as the sessions take place on a private, 7-acre property, with neighbours far away. This ensures a quiet and secluded environment for our conversations.
