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.

Misti Rose is a three year old female whippet, who graduated from Therapy Dog Training in 2012. She is happy to be in the room, beside you or on your lap; the decsion is up to you about how involved Misti will be.
