Hi, I'm Julia Telford

And I’m glad you’re looking for support to change whatever is holding you back, or keeping you stuck, and gain more confidence.

I’m a Registered Psychotherapist with over a decade of experience in various roles in the mental health field. I aim to create a therapeutic space that feels genuine, down to-earth, and human. I believe change and growth happen when we feel safe enough to show up as we are. In sessions with me, there is no need to perform, shrink, or hide different parts of yourself and there is never any judgement.

My style is warm, relational, and collaborative. I'm not interested in sitting back and silently nodding; I value being present, engaged, and gently challenging my clients as they navigate the ups and down of life. Together, we'll explore patterns, make sense of your experiences, and develop a deeper connection with yourself. I use an anti-oppressive, person-centered, trauma-informed approach and the primary modalities I pull from are: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), Attachment-Based Therapy, some aspects of Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT).

Many people I work with want help or support with:

• Anxiety (in ALL it’s forms, such as high-functioning anxiety, overthinking, people pleasing)

• Emotional regulation and BPD

• Insecure attachment patterns and relationship issues

• Low self worth and trauma

• Life transitions and ‘Stuckness’

• Stress management/Burnout

No matter what you are facing, my goal is to help you move forward with greater confidence, live more authentically, and move toward the life you want to have.
