Dog-Assisted Therapy
for children
(Bournemouth, Dorset)
Dog Phobia (Cynophobia)
I work as an Animal-Assisted Therapy Specialist; I have helped
many children overcome their fear of dogs.
My de-sensitisation programme is tailored to the individual
child’s needs.
Each step of the programme is explained to the child, who is always involved in decisions – they are, praised, encouraged and respected.
Emotional Trauma
Many children today suffer from emotional upsets and stress, this may be due to: - - bullying - chronic illness - death of someone close - divorce In this programme, the child sits in a quiet area (at school or at home) and talks to a canine friend. The therapist talks to the child through the dog This form of therapy is a well known in America, and because of the enormous benefit it brings to the child, is now practiced in the UK.
Pet Bereavement Counselling
Support, understanding and empathy for pet owners who are experiencing the loss of a pet.
Pet Owners have a loving and emotional bond with their pet; the passing away of a close companion can elicit strong and deep feelings akin to the grief we feel after losing a relative or friend.
