As a qualified and experienced Animal Assisted Therapist , I bring many years of dedicated practice to supporting individuals of all ages and abilities. My professional journey includes working in a variety of settings, including schools, care facilities and private therapeutic environments, tailoring interventions to meet the unique needs of each client.
In my practice I collaborate with my own carefully selected and temperament -assessed pets, ensuring that every animal partner is well suited to provide a safe ,comforting and enriching experience. This personal connection enhances the therapeutic bond , fosters trust and engagement during sessions as well as ensures utmost safety.
Beyond my therapy work, I am a passionate Pets As Therapy (PAT) volunteer , fostering the joy and comfort that animal interactions bring to people in a community setting. My passion for animal welfare extends to my work as a wildlife rehabilitator , where I provide care and rehabilitation for injured and orphaned wildlife , reflecting my deep respect for all living beings.
My approach is rooted compassion and adaptability, blending my deep understanding of animal behaviour, human psychology and the healing potential of the human-animal bond to foster emotional, psychological and physical well being. I tailor therapeutic interventions to meet the specific needs of each client, creating a safe and nurturing space where growing and healing can flourish. I collaborate with my animal partners to build meaningful connections that promote self confidence, resilience and improved communication skills. Whether working with children , adults or families I am committed to delivering personalized , impactful support that empowers individuals to grow.
