About Vanessa

I’m Vanessa Deverell, a Registered Clinical Counsellor and somatic therapist in Nelson BC. I work with individual adults (19+) who are ready to create lasting positive change through body-oriented therapy and mindful counselling.

My approach integrates:
– Somatic awareness – reconnecting with your body’s wisdom and releasing held trauma
– Mindfulness practices – cultivating present-moment awareness and choice
– Attachment healing – transforming relational patterns at their roots
– Nervous system regulation – building resilience and capacity for joy

Clients often describe me as calm, grounded, safe, and compassionate. Throughout my life, I’ve been drawn to supporting others in turning toward their experience with courage and curiosity.

In our sessions, we’ll:
– Honour and unpack your unique experience
– Explore how past experiences live in your body now
– Develop practical tools for emotional regulation
– Practice new ways of being in relationship
– Connect with your innate capacity for healing

We’ll work together to help you fully inhabit your life – to say ‘yes’ to both pleasurable and painful experiences, discovering freedom and choice that didn’t seem possible before.

If this approach resonates with you, I sincerely invite you to reach out for a free consultation.
