The human experience can feel so messy and painful sometimes, but we don’t have to navigate it alone.
My full name is Loretta Laurin, but you can call me Lo. I was born and raised in the Vancouver area on the traditional lands of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh Nations. My mother is a Chinese immigrant, and my late father was Quebecois (French-Canadian). I love facilitating meaningful experiences for people.
I take a holistic approach to therapy. This involves working together to support all aspects of yourself - thoughts, emotions, relationships, and social/cultural contexts - to come into alignment and harmony. In my 15 years as a mindful movement teacher, including rehabilitative yoga and pilates, I have come to see that our mind-body systems hold inherent wisdom and capacity for healing. In therapy, we can access this inner wisdom to help guide us through some of the darkest challenges.
My own experiences of walking with grief and loss, chronic pain, and trauma have led me to this work. I hope to provide you with a supportive space to not only take the next steps along your healing journey but also to thrive in your life.
It is an honour to walk alongside you.
**Therapeutic Training**
I am trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS), which helps us understand and appreciate all the various parts of ourselves (such as the inner critic), and bring conflicted parts back into harmony. Additionally, I am a certified Life Coach, offering solutions-focused techniques to help people visualize and work towards their dreams and aspirations when ready.
**Couples Counselling**
As a relationship counsellor, I welcome and celebrate all relationships, including LGBTQIA2S+, polyamorous, and kink.
I have extensive training in Relational Life Therapy (RLT), which focuses on exploring the root causes of harmful patterns of behaviour and communication, while developing more effective relationship skills and fostering connection. I have also done Level One of the Gottman Method.
**My Philosophy**
I believe deeply in your innate capacity for healing and transformation. And while the space I hold is compassionate, collaborative, and trauma-informed, I also provide inquiry, guidance, and perspective to support your growth.
My philosophy is influenced by somatics, social justice, and attachment theory. Somatic approaches incorporate the wisdom of the body in the therapeutic process. Social justice approaches consider our social and cultural environment, supporting liberation and empowerment. Attachment theory helps us understand how childhood relationship patterns affect how we react to things today and provides the opportunity to heal through new experiences of more secure (safe and loving) relational patterns.
Ultimately, I believe therapy is a creative and relational experience. I tailor my approach to each client, honoring your unique lived experiences and supporting you in cultivating your inner wisdom.

EMDR is a psychotherapy tool developed by Francine Shapiro in 1987. It is widely used in the treatment of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and other mental health issues.

Spending time outdoor and in nature can significantly improve our mental and physical health. Walk-and-talk therapy combines physical activity, nature, and talk therapy to form a wrap around approach that can help with mental health in a number of ways, including: - reducing anxiety, depression, and stress - reducing intrusive and ruminative thoughts, and an increased ability to be present -increased energy, sense of well being, and emotional regulation.
These sessions are collaborative and paced to your nervous system and capacity. Depending on what you’re experiencing, we may focus on emotional processing, practical reflection, relationship patterns, stress responses, or increasing awareness of how thoughts and feelings are held in the body. Some sessions may feel reflective and quiet; others may involve deeper emotional work or gentle body-based exploration. There is no “right” way for a session to unfold. Each one responds to what you need in that moment. Over time, this work is aimed at helping you feel more grounded, clear and connected to yourself, with tools and insight you can carry into daily life. This 75-minute session is $155 + gst
