A Bit About Me
Hi, I’m Lizanne Hills.
I’m a Registered Psychotherapist offering grief counselling and psychotherapy in London, Ontario. My approach is warm, collaborative, and deeply informed by both professional training and personal experience. I know what it means to live through pain and rebuild.
My own story includes grief, childhood trauma, neurodiversity, and brain injury—and these lived experiences help shape how I show up with clients: with empathy, curiosity, and respect. I believe healing isn’t just about surviving, but about reclaiming your voice, your worth, and your story.
​
I hold a BA and a Master’s in Counselling Psychology, with certifications in addictions counselling and neurodiversity-informed care. In therapy, I draw from integrative, evidence-based modalities and always tailor our work to your unique needs and pace.
Whether you’re navigating loss, emotional overwhelm, or seeking clarity about who you are, I’m here to walk beside you with compassion and care.
​
I look forward to meeting you.
Take the first step. You're not alone.

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.
