A Bit About Me

Hi, I’m Jeanette Leroux.
I’m a Registered Social Worker (RSW) with a Master of Social Work from King’s University College and a Minor in Thanatology—the study of death, dying, and grief. I specialize in grief counselling and psychotherapy in London, Ontario, offering support to individuals navigating loss, transition, and the emotional weight that comes with it.

Grief isn’t always about death. It can come from a breakup, a lost dream, a job change, or simply the life you thought you’d have. Whether your loss was expected or sudden, quiet or earth-shattering, I’m here to hold space for your unique story. Together, we’ll explore your experience through tears, reflection, or even moments of laughter—whatever your grief needs.

I have a deep passion for supporting clients through complex grief, including losses to suicide, unexpected death, and Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID). I also provide MAID-related counselling for individuals and families, both before and after the process, with care and respect at every step.

​

Grief takes many shapes. Whatever yours looks like, you don’t have to carry it alone. I'm here to walk with you—gently, compassionately, and at your pace.

Take the first step. You're not alone.

A meaningful approach to healing- Book With Jeanette Now!

Jeanette’s approach to counselling is rooted in the belief that grief is not something to “fix” but a journey to be honored. She offers a non-judgmental, supportive environment where individuals can process their emotions, make peace with their losses, and move forward in a way that feels right for them.

Grief is Messy: A Conversation About Loss and Healing

Grief, Healing & the Power of Listening
On this episode of Mental Breakthroughs, host Patricia Wu welcomes grief counsellor and psychotherapist Gabrielle Ferguson for an honest conversation about the complexities of grief. Together, they explore how loss impacts the mind and body, the healing role of therapy, and why simply listening—without trying to fix—is one of the most powerful ways we can support someone in pain.

Grief is not one-size-fits-all—it’s a deeply personal journey. Therapy offers a safe space to process emotions, make meaning, and begin healing. And for those walking beside someone in grief, showing up with compassion and presence can mean more than any advice.

Tune in for insight, connection, and gentle encouragement for wherever you are in your own journey.

Our Belief About Grief

Grief is not something to fix—it’s something to support.

At Authentic Living London, we honour grief as a natural and valid response to loss. There’s no timeline, no “right” way to feel, and no single path through it. Whether your grief stems from death, life transitions, or other kinds of loss, your experience is real and worthy of compassion.

We believe:

  • Grief doesn’t need a cure, it needs care.

  • Sharing your story makes grief more bearable.

  • The process can be longer and heavier than anyone expects—and that’s okay.

  • Grief looks different for everyone. There are no rules, and no one gets to tell you how to feel.

  • Crying isn’t the only way to express emotion, and not crying doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong.

  • With the right support, everyone has the strength to carry and move through their grief.

Let’s leave the “shoulds” behind and meet your grief with presence, not pressure.
