Our Story
Authentic Living London was created from a deeply personal place. After experiencing her own losses, founder Gabrielle Ferguson saw how hard it was to find grief support that felt both skilled and truly compassionate. She wanted to create something different- a space where people in London, Ontario could access professional grief therapy and feel genuinely understood during their most vulnerable moments.
​
At Authentic Living London, we believe grief is not something to be “fixed” — it’s a natural, human response that deserves understanding and support. Our team is made up of therapists who combine professional training with lived experience in grief, trauma, and emotional healing. We walk alongside clients of all ages, from young children to older adults, offering personalized care during some of life’s most difficult seasons.
​
In addition to grief therapy and bereavement counselling, we now offer general psychotherapy, anxiety and depression support, and trauma-informed care. In 2023, we launched the Authentic Living Institute to provide grief education, workshops, and suicide prevention training across London and beyond. And in 2025, we’ll be introducing low-cost therapy groups and a pay-what-you-can program to make mental health support more accessible.
Authentic Living London is more than a clinic — it’s a place where healing happens through connection, compassion, and authenticity. Whether you're navigating loss, trauma, or a life transition, we’re here to support your journey toward emotional wellbeing.
Our Approach
At Authentic Living London, we believe healing begins when you feel truly seen and heard. Founded by grief counsellor Gabrielle Ferguson in 2022, our clinic was created from lived experience — with a deep understanding of what it feels like to navigate loss without the right support.
We’re here to change that.
Our team offers compassionate grief counselling and psychotherapy in London, Ontario, rooted in real-life experience and evidence-based care. We support individuals of all ages through grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and more.
