I am excited to offer the incredible benefits of working with a therapy dog as part of my counselling services.​

​

Therapy dogs are trained to  provide comfort, affection, emotional support and companionship, making them a powerful addition to the therapeutic process.

 

How therapy dogs can help you​

Therapy dogs offer profound mental health benefits, particularly for individuals coping with issues such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, Autism, ADHD, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).​

Their calming presence creates a safe and non-judgmental environment, making it easier to open up and feel at ease during sessions.

 

​Key benefits of Therapy dogs in Therapy:

​

• Stress relief: Petting or interacting with a Therapy dog can help reduce stress and anxiety by triggering the release of endorphins, promoting relaxation

• Building confidence:The unconditional love and trust a Therapy dog offers can boost self-esteem and help you feel more positive

• Connection without words: Therapy dogs can bridge the gap for individuals who find it difficult to express themselves verbally, offering a comforting presence

• Emotional support: Whether you’re dealing with trauma, grief or everyday challenges, a therapy dog provides unwavering comfort and understanding

• Teaching skills: working with a Therapy dog can encourage empathy , responsibility, and social awareness, which are especially beneficial for children and young people.
