animal assisted therapy
Individuals and families can choose to have sessions in which a therapy dog is present. Working with a therapy dog has been shown to have a number of benifits, including:
- helping people to feel more relaxed,
- improving mood and concentration,
- helping conselling feel more friendly,
- helping people to 'open up'.
Therapy dogs may be present in the room during conselling or they can become an integral part of the therapeutic process.
