About Kayla

Meeting You Where You Are

Kayla Stocking is a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor (RTC) based in Maple Ridge, where she has lived since 2016. After nearly two decades working in the corporate and transportation sectors, a shift during the COVID-19 pandemic led Kayla to pursue her true calling: helping people understand themselves and navigate life with greater clarity and resilience.

Kayla holds a Diploma in Transpersonal Therapeutic Counselling from Clearmind International Institute and is a proud member of the Association of Cooperative Counselling Therapists of Canada (ACCT). Her approach is trauma-informed, relational, and experiential — drawing on somatic and body-based techniques to help clients connect with their inner experience, not just their thoughts.

She works with youth aged 13 and up, adults, and couples navigating a wide range of life challenges. Whether you are facing a major life transition, struggling with anxiety, working through relationship difficulties, or simply trying to understand yourself better, Kayla offers a warm, grounded space to do that work.
