Laura Avila, RCC
Psychotherapist — Somatic & IFS-Informed Therapy
Laura works with individuals exploring the deeper layers of their stories — attachment wounds, self-worth, identity, and the nervous system patterns that shape how we show up in relationship. Her approach is somatic and parts-based, grounded in IFS, and held with warmth, directness, and the occasional moment of unexpected lightness. She was born in Barcelona, has lived in Vancouver for over a decade, and founded Cala Counselling in 2022. Her individual caseload is currently full.
