Therapy can be beneficial for anyone who seeks support, guidance, or understanding in navigating life's challenges, managing emotions, improving relationships, or enhancing personal growth. It's particularly helpful for individuals facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, life transitions, or seeking to explore and understand themselves better.

You can expect a safe and confidential space to openly discuss your thoughts, feelings, and concerns with a trained professional. Kerry will listen attentively, offer empathy and support, and help you explore and understand your emotions, behaviours, and experiences. She may also provide guidance, tools, and strategies to cope with challenges, improve communication skills, set goals, and foster personal growth. In doing this sessions are tailored according to your needs and preferences.

No, not at all. Including the cat is entirely optional. This is your time to be used how you choose. Kerry will incorporate a range of techniques including traditional talk therapy, mind body connection, mindfulness, art, nature and play therapy. Each session is tailored to meet your unique needs to create a comprehensive and personalised experience.

Feline-assisted therapy goes beyond just patting, by integrating the soothing presence of cats into the therapy session. Informed by research on human-animal interactions, cats contribute to a sense of calm, comfort, and security, aiding in stress reduction while enhancing communication, self-regulation, and social skills.

While there is no specific training, our cats are selected for temperaments that provide comfort and support. They've undergone extensive behavioural and health screenings to ensure they're well-suited for therapy work.

The number of sessions you'll need will vary based on your individual goals and needs. Some individuals may see benefits from just a few sessions, while others may need more support over a longer period of time. Kerry will work with you to determine the best approach for your individual situation, and provide guidance and support throughout the process.
