Welcome to my website. If you are considering individual or couples counselling, you are probably in considerable pain, stressed out, even exhausted by efforts that have not yet brought relief.

You are no longer alone. You are reaching out for help. Congratulations! Trusting is a key step in healing..

I am a Registered Marriage and Family Therapist, with over 20 years experience as a counsellor. My training include Master's Degrees in Psychology and Divinity, as well as being a clinical member of the Ontario Association for Marriage and Family Therapists. I have lived in the Beaches in Toronto since 1987. My approach to counselling incorporates traditional psychodynamics, family systems theory, Self Psychology, cognitive/behavioural therapy and dream work.

I believe that people grow into health through trusting relationships. As well as exploring areas of concern in your life, I offer a supportive, confidential relationship that you can count on for as long as you need it. I look forward to journeying with you. Please email me, with your questions, and to arrange a free initial consultation. peg@pegearle.com
