Brenna McKerrall is a Registered Psychologist, expert consultant, and the founder of Cycle Breakers Counselling Inc., based in Alberta, Canada. Specializing in the forensic translation of systemic relational pathology, she bridges the critical gap between psychological realities and the rigorous evidentiary thresholds of the family court system.

As a leading authority on autonomy deprivation and cycle breaking, Brenna equips family law firms, judicial bodies, and corporate legal teams with the strategic architecture required to litigate complex systemic abuse. Her work shifts the legal paradigm from incident-based analysis to cumulative pattern mapping.

Beyond clinical practice and litigation strategy, Brenna is deeply engaged in legislative advocacy surrounding child safety and family violence frameworks, actively consulting on the implications of evolving national statutes such as Bill C-16 and Bill C-223. She is a sought-after speaker and educator, dedicated to transforming how the justice system comprehends, measures, and penalizes the structural architecture of coercive control.

Her mission is to illuminate the hidden mechanics that shape our lives. Whether you are navigating the complexities of intergenerational patterns or seeking the strategic clarity required to dismantle systems of coercive control, Cycle Breakers Counselling Inc. provides the expert insight you need. As a Registered Psychologist and Strategic Consultant, she bridges the gap between clinical healing and systemic advocacy, empowering individuals and professionals alike to identify, name, and reclaim their autonomy.

Strategic Coaching & Advocacy

Dedicated to breaking unhealthy family cycles through trauma recovery and systemic change. I specialize in helping individuals and parents dismantle intergenerational patterns, navigate the impact of coercive control, and foster relational health.

Navigating high-conflict custody disputes requires a precise understanding of behavioral dynamics. I provide direct, personalized coaching to help parents and litigators identify manipulative patterns, master the vocabulary of coercive control, and build an evidence-based narrative.

I know how coercive controllers think, how they operate, and how they manipulate the people and systems around them. Having studied these behaviors for decades, I excel at spotting the subtle and overt signs of coercive control, right down to the phrasing used in court documentation.

Strategic Behavioural Consulting is about turning that knowledge into your greatest advantage. Using my specific frameworks, I will work with you to meticulously outline your case, organizing the chaos into a clear, strategic format. Whether you need a focused clarity session or ongoing tactical advising, this consulting division is designed to give you the exact tools and strategies you need to expose the control, protect yourself, and win.
