Juliana Pulford
Whether you are looking for insight and healing around a specific issue or have come to
a moment where it feels right or necessary to examine your relationship to the life you
are leading; therapy is an excellent tool. Relational therapy works with the old patterns
and dynamics that have created the scaffolding we carry with us into our current lives
and relationships. Together, client and therapist work to explore the ‘hows’ and ‘whys’
and in doing so create space for new ways of being in relationship, both with ourselves
and with others.
I am a therapist-in-training under supervision at Toronto Institute of Relational
Psychotherapy (TIRP) and a student member of the Ontario Society of Registered
Psychotherapy (OSRP).
My path includes a 20-year career in the performing arts and over a decade working in
reproductive rights and access to care. I have a M.A in Developmental Psychology
from Carleton University.
I work from a trauma informed framework and my practice is grounded in an inclusive
lens that acknowledges the colonial history of the spaces we inhabit.
Areas of interest include childhood trauma, PTSD, difficult relationships, divorce, life
transitions, loss, and grief.

Shaila Khan
I believe that every individual has a right to live in a place of vivacious agency, where your desires and needs are allowed to be actualized. You have a right to feel the safety and internal nourishment offered in your own body and to feel supported by your relationships as you navigate through life.
I support individuals through embodied approaches to psychotherapy centered in somatics and dance/movement therapy. In talk therapy, words are used as the primary material to "unpack" the emotional aspects of a person's experience. I use both words as well as connection to sensory, emotional, and creative explorations to support the goals you are working towards.
I am trained as Dance Movement Therapist (DMT) through the National Centre for Dance Therapy, Montreal. I am practicing as a pre-licenced psychotherapist (under supervision) and have completed advanced training in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy. I bridge expressive arts, somatics and neurobiology treatment of trauma within my practice.
I look forward to working with you today. Book a consult at somatichealing.ca
