In preparation, please ask your insurer if they cover Registered Social Workers , counsellors registered with the BC College of Social Work.
Some therapeutic modalities I engage , include such things as Indigenous Focusing-Oriented Trauma Therapy (IFOT); Focusing-Oriented Therapy(FOT) ; somatic and body-based therapy; Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT); mindfulness-based approaches; attachment-based therapy; Emotion-Focused Family Therapy (EFFT); or Virginia Satir–informed family therapy.
Overarchingly, my approach is held in a relational space where healing can unfold organically, rooting all within a trauma-informed, trauma-specific holistic practice that is guided by anti-oppressive and anti-racist understandings.
I am grateful you are here and hope you find what you are searching for ion your journey to wellness.

My name is Diane Laverdure, and I am a grateful visitor to the territory of the Kwantlen, Katzie, Matsqui, and Semiahmoo First Nations where I have lived, worked, and played for nearly four decades.
Within my practice, I offer a gentle, holistic approach to counselling—one that honors the deep interconnectedness of mind, body, heart, and spirit. I recognize that our lived experiences, including those shaped by trauma, can touch every aspect of who we are. In our work together, we move slowly and with care, tending to each part with compassion and respect for your unique needs.
At the heart of my practice is a deep trust in your innate capacity for healing, where I hold the belief that what you are seeking is not outside of you. Rather, remedy and healing already live within—woven into the quiet, often unseen places of your being. Together, we create space to reconnect with these places of resilience, wisdom, and gentle knowing.
