Relationship Therapy

Relationship therapy is open to any two people within a relationship who are experiencing difficulties. The work focuses on issues within the relationship, exploring individual backgrounds and how they influence reactions to different situations. Through our work together we aim to develop tools that that will assist in developing strong communication skills and a deeper understanding of one another.

Wolfdog Therapy

Wolfdog therapy is one of many animal assisted therapies (AAT), such as equine therapy, canine therapy and dolphin therapy. Although wolves and humans have lived side by side for thousands of years the use of wolves and wolfdogs in therapy is a relatively new approach. Primarily, gaining popularity in the U.S for treating combat trauma in veterans and for use in addiction recovery, they're help is utilised more and more in all aspects of therapy. This is due to the pack mentality of the wolf and they're incredible emotional intelligence. They are the perfect guides for helping people to learn empathy, respect and boundary setting. They can assist in helping the client to breakdown defensive walls more quickly than a therapist alone can do, building a trusting relationship within the therapy room. Wolfdogs, in particular, have many parts to their character as do humans. It is the struggle to except these different parts within ourselves that can be the cause of so much anxiety in the modern world. Understanding the role that we were programmed to live within, opposed, to that which we are forced to live within modern society can be an important step towards self-awareness.

Lagertha is a young, low content F4 wolfdog. As opposed to many wolfdogs that are crossed with German Shepherds, Lagertha is predominantly crossed with Siberian Husky. This makes her particularly friendly and welcoming with extra pack mentality. It is, however, important to remember that wolfdogs are not dogs. They do not behave in the same way. Although Lagertha, being low content, does have dog characteristics, being an F4, the closeness in her bloodline to her full wolf parentage makes her more wolf-like in many ways. Lagertha is particularly fond of children and young people and so with this client group can make coming to therapy far less stressful due to the welcome that they receive.

For those with allergies, a fear of big dogs or simply those who would find her more of a distraction than a help, we will discuss this in the initial consultation (which Lagertha is never present for), and she will not partake in our work together.
