Individual Therapy
Individual therapy is a great way to develop skills and work on personal goals for your mental health. Therapy can be tailored to your personal needs including different treatment types and level of engagement with the therapy animals. We can also provide treatment for dog phobias in individual settings.
At present we provide individual therapy to private clients, clients with a Mental Health Treatment Plan referral and NDIS plan-managed and self-managed clients. Please contact us for fees and availability.
Group Therapy
Group therapy is a great way to develop skills for your mental health in a supported environment. Often the group therapy format can support the practise of skills that can only be achieved though working with others, and can make therapy seem less clinical.
