Animal Assisted Therapy

The human-animal bond that occurs between an individual and a therapy dog can illicit many positive outcomes, notably, increasing the attachment response that triggers the hormone oxytocin, which increases trust in humans. In addition, research has shown therapy dogs can help reduce stress.

Robyn's specific area of interest is supporting children and young people with ADHD. She focuses on helping them recognize and capitalize on their strengths while developing strategies to minimize and manage challenges.

Following an assessment and potential diagnosis, Robyn communicates with other specialists, such as pediatricians or psychiatrists, to develop or reinforce appropriate scaffolds with practical and teachable tools and strategies.

Her services are conducted in beautifully landscaped surroundings in Eltham, located in the northeastern suburbs of Melbourne. This tranquil rural environment provides access to outdoor activities and areas for children and young people to enjoy.
