Therapeutic Support Ep. 5 (Final Part!)

Today Kelly explains how her and her team’s background may be in psychotherapy, but this doesn’t mean that the support for each individual family will by psychotherapy led. It very much is a tailored experience for each handler and their family.

Let’s say a massive congratulations to graduates Millie and assistance dog Riley!🎓🐾

Hear what Millie has to say below…
“We’ve been a working team for three years now, and I genuinely can’t imagine my life without her. In that time, she’s been there through me moving in with my boyfriend, getting through university, graduating, art shows, starting to figure out work and adult life, she inspired part of my dissertation, and influenced an art project which has led to really exciting opportunities and everything in between. She has been unbelievably steady through all of it. She’s so brave, I swear nothing phases her, which makes me try to be more sure of myself, and she’s given me so much more independence than I ever thought I’d have.

I’m really excited to see what we tackle next as a team. I think our next big adventure might have to be a holiday, as I’ve never been on a plane with Riley or flown at all for many years.

I’m just endlessly grateful for her and so proud of everything we’ve managed together.”
