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.

approach
Discover how I can make a difference for you
My specific area of interest is supporting children and young people with ADHD to recognise and capitalise upon their strengths, whilst also developing strategies to minimise and gain control over challenges.
My focus, following assessment, potential diagnosis and communication with other specialists (such as paediatricians or psychiatrists) is to develop or reinforce appropriate scaffolds with practical and teachable tools and strategies.
Services are conducted in beautiful landscaped surrounds located in Eltham which is in the North Eastern Melbourne suburbs. There is access to outdoor activities and areas that are set amongst a rural and tranquil environment.
