The Therapy Dog
(In training)
I am excited to offer the incredible benefits of working with a therapy dog as part of my counselling and psychotherapy 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
