Sheila Gill

As a relational therapist, I aim to create space for people to explore themselves and their relationships in new and healing ways. My approach is integrative and flexible, drawing on contemporary psychoanalytic thought, neuroscience, attachment and embodiment research, as well as decades of experience with Eastern mind-body practices such as meditation and movement. Above all, I listen closely and work collaboratively with you—striving to understand your perspective and allowing your values and direction to guide our work together.

Earlier in my career, I studied post-colonial theory and worked to challenge race-based oppression in Canada. That background still shapes how I think today—especially in how I understand the bigger social and historical forces that affect people’s lives. In therapy, I aim to create space where we can explore not just personal struggles, but also the larger systems and intergenerational stories that shape them. Clients often find that their own histories—and the histories they’ve inherited—hold important clues for healing and growth.
