A space to feel heard

Canine-assisted counselling in the Darwin region. Gentle, trauma-informed therapy for adults with trained therapy dogs to support emotional safety, relaxation & healing. Sometimes the thought of attending counselling can be daunting, confronting and overwhelming. We can be concerned that we have to relive old traumas, go over past hurts and talk about distressing events. Canine Assisted Counselling can provide a gentle and nurturing space to rest whilst sensitively and intuitively exploring your connection to inner wisdom and healing.
