Hi, my name is Ali Peddle RCT-C (She/her) and I am glad you’re here. I completed my undergraduate degree at St. Francis Xavier University in 2019 where I received a Bachelor of Arts Joint Major in Music & Psychology. May 2023 I completed my Masters of Arts in Counselling Psychology (MACP). I believe you are the expert of your own life and it’s my job to provide you with a safe non-judgmental space to share openly while I offer the support and guidance you need to overcome life’s challenges.

My background and love for music and the creative arts have helped in developing my own approach to therapy. My approach to psychotherapy is integrative. I discovered the interconnections between music and our mind while Studying Music & Psychology at St.Fx university. From songwriting as a form of self expression, visualization, mindfulness, playlist creation etc. The ways of incorporating music within the therapeutic space are endless. While completing my 8 month practicum at a small private practice in the Halifax area I was able to utilize my knowledge of music and the arts along with my passion for various therapeutic approaches including Acceptance Commitment Therapy, and Narrative Therapy to help clients from a variety of populations. In particular, young adults and teenagers within the LGBTQ+ community.

As a therapist who identifies as a lesbian I understand that finding a therapist you share common ground with can alleviate some of the fear and anxiety seeking therapy can bring. My goal, is to provide clients with a sense of safety, through creating a non judgemental space for them to share their story guide them in navigating whatever life throws their way. I look forward to meeting with you to explore your unique strengths, goals, and learning how I can best help you on your journey!
