MEET MEEKA
Although quiet in nature, Meeka really engaged with
our programme on Low Mood & Anxiety! This allowed her to talk about her #socialanxiety & gain the support & coping strategies she needed.

MEET JAXON
Jaxon enjoyed engaging with our #Therapy#Animals during his Animal Assisted #EmotionCoaching sessions with us. He has grown his knowledge of emotions and knows how he feels in certain situations and who he can speak with to help him self regulate.
