Hi i'm trying to connect my early 2015 macbook pro to a docking station which supports two display monitors but it utilises a USB-C connection. Is there an adaptor out there that can connect the USB-C into my laptop?

That Apple adapter works in either direction, but does NOT directly support ANY display protocols except genuine ThunderBolt. It should support ThunderBolt docks that can then support multiple displays.

Remember that the Mac does not support multiple displays over any protocol except genuine Thunderbolt. The first device on any chain must be a genuine ThunderBolt device to be able to eventually hang two displays off it.
Multiple displays over DisplayPort or any flavor of USB are not supported, mainly because those cables do not have enough bandwidth for more than one large display..
Yes, there are many and Apple sells a good one.
