My name is Anita and I work with my Therapy Dogs Tszyu (Zoo) and Noah. I have two areas of my psychology work that I am passionate about making available to you. The first being Animal Assisted Therapy, and the second Art in Therapy. Having the dogs in my studio provides you with an emotionally safe and nurturing space to explore the distress you are feeling, without getting lost in it. The dogs are always there as a welcome sensory connection to the present moment. I also use art (basket weaving /picture cards and paint) to help you explore parts of your story and emotional experience that you don't have the right words for.

I have experience in working with adults and children 6-18 years old.
My approach is person-centred, trauma informed and deeply relational. I believe that the psychological sufferings we sometimes experience stem from relationships, and only in relationships can be explored, processed, and organised differently. Sometimes we try hard to be different to fit with others and in this world, and as a result we might suffer even more and feel isolated. The relationship with my clients can be a safe place where they can try more authentic and spontaneous ways of being, until they feel safe enough to bring their real self in their relationships and in the world.
