A Bit About Me
Hi, I’m Siobhan McPartland.
I’m a registered social worker with a Master’s degree in Social Work from the University of Toronto and over ten years of experience supporting individuals and families through life’s most difficult moments. My work is grounded in compassion, curiosity, and a deep belief that healing happens when we feel truly seen.
Over the years, I’ve worked in many spaces where grief and trauma live—pediatric critical care, palliative care, and hospital-based mental health. I’ve sat with families after devastating losses, helped teens navigate emotional overwhelm, and supported people facing medical crises and life transitions.
My approach is practical and supportive. I draw from evidence-based modalities like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), while always holding space for the human experience behind the symptoms.
Grief, anxiety, identity questions, burnout—it’s all valid. And you don’t have to go through it alone.
At Authentic Living London, I offer therapy for grief and mental health in London, Ontario (and virtually across Ontario). My goal is to create a space where you can show up exactly as you are, without judgment or pressure, and work together to figure out what healing looks like for you.
When I’m not working with clients, I’m usually diving into a new book, learning something new, or spending time with my community.
​
I’m so glad you’re here.

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.
