Animal Assisted Therapy
How Animal Assisted Therapy Works
People who have been hurt badly by another person can stop trusting everyone, and this can often include therapists.
​
Animal Assisted Therapy can help people with PTSD and anger, who struggle to trust people. At the moment we offer this treatment with horses and we will be adding dogs in the near future. Horses and dogs are particularly sensitive to non-verbal communication and sense our emotional and physical state. They are also highly tuned in to their environment and always prepared to respond. Working with animals; especially large ones; helps with building trust.
​
As this is costly service to run, we are open to having up to three people together for treatment, which would mean they can split the cost of the therapy. We also aim to secure funding opportunities for people currently unable to afford animal assisted therapy.
