Lauren Cocklin

My main clinic hours are currently Monday and Friday evenings from 6-10pm, with some availability. However, I’ll do my best to accommodate other times as needed.

I am a licensed therapist with a passion for helping individuals navigate the challenges life may bring. Drawing from a diverse range of therapeutic techniques including Person Centred Therapy, Gestalt, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), I am dedicated to creating a care plan that suits your needs.

While my approach is rooted in established evidence and theoretical knowledge, I believe that a strong therapist-client relationship is essential for effective change. I understand that not all methods will resonate with every individual, so my commitment is to ensure that your therapeutic journey aligns with what you truly need. My approach is straightforward but simultaneously warm and often injected with a touch of humour.

In our sessions, you'll have a safe space to discuss your challenges, experiences, and thoughts—things you might not feel comfortable sharing with others. I provide a private and confidential environment where we can explore how these things impact you. My main focus, however, is to empower you and help cultivate a sense of self-compassion along the way.

We can start with an initial meeting where I’ll help you reflect on your needs and determine if therapy is the right step for you. During our time together, I’ll ask questions to better understand what’s brought you to seek support and what you’re hoping to achieve. We’ll also discuss what your therapy sessions could look like, including your preferred approach and how we can tailor the process to fit your unique needs. This first meeting is a chance for you to gauge how you feel working with me and whether I’m the right fit for you. I strongly believe in the importance of having a therapist with whom you feel a sense of trust and comfort.
