Canine-Assisted Therapy & Counselling in Bedford

Alongside traditional talking therapies, I offer specialist canine-assisted psychotherapy, working in schools, charities, and community settings working alongside my fully certified PAT (Pets As Therapy) dog, Noodle. 

Animals have a unique ability to lower nervous system arousal, reduce anxiety, and help individuals feel grounded during emotionally challenging sessions

How Animal-Assisted Counselling Can Help

Our structured therapy dog sessions are tailored to your unique pace and psychological needs. Incorporating Noodle into your integrative therapy framework can be deeply beneficial for managing:

• Anxiety and social panic

• Trauma and emotional hypervigilance

• Depression, loneliness, and low mood

• Difficulties building trust or verbalizing emotions

All sessions comply with professional animal welfare and PAT safety guidelines to ensure a secure, comforting experience for both you and Noodle.

I am available for part‑time roles or self‑employed agreements to provide canine‑assisted emotional support in community settings. If your organisation is looking to bring in a calm, relational therapeutic partnership — one counsellor and one very intuitive dog — you’re welcome to get in touch.
