A Bit About Me
Hi there,
I'm Brenda Deaves.
As a therapist I specialize in the areas of loss and grief, trauma, self-sabotaging behaviours, and difficult life transitions, along with anxiety and depression.
I work with clients from a person-centered approach, where my main priority is to create a safe environment for the two of us to work from collaboratively, and at a pace that works for you.
My passion comes from what I have studied and what I have learned, in part through my own direct experiences with loss, addiction, anger and perfectionism. These lived experiences are what help me to show up for my clients authentically and compassionately.
​
While the neuroscience geek in me recognizes that change can be very hard, I firmly believe that it is possible for each and every one of us, regardless of our age or our life circumstance. I am here to walk beside you in these difficult times of transition.
I am available at Authentic Living London for both in-person and virtual sessions, and invite you to connect with me for a free 15 minute phone consultation to get started.

Therapeutic Approach
Sessions with Brenda take a human-centered, existential and holistic approach. Her passion as a practitioner lies in helping clients live more authentically through gaining greater self-understanding in their search for meaning, purpose and self-determination. Brenda draws upon therapeutic modalities including Internal Family Systems and Narrative Therapy in her practice.
Areas of Focus
Anger Management
Life Transitions
Anxiety
Grief
When anger becomes overwhelming or leads to hurtful actions, it can cause problems in your relationships, work, and daily life. If you feel like anger is controlling you instead of the other way around, you’re not alone—and help is available.
​Divorce and breakups, shifting family or social dynamics and identity changes can all lead to feelings of loss. We offer specialized therapy in London, Ontario to help you name what’s missing, honour your experience, and move through change with support.
Anxiety can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to manage it alone. We provide anxiety counselling in London, Ontario that helps you identify triggers, shift unhelpful thought patterns, and develop grounding techniques. Whether you experience panic, social anxiety, or constant worry, we’re here to help.
Whether you are coping with the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, a major life change, or any form of bereavement, Brenda offers a safe and supportive space to process your feelings.
