Enhance your therapy journey with the comfort, motivation, and joy of our specially trained therapy dogs.

CUTE DOG


Hi, I’m Willow.

I am a very gentle and playful Golden Retriever x Labrador.

I have made a large impact in the lives of the clients that I work with. I love pats, chasing the ball, showing off my tricks, or just laying down by your side while you work.

Occasionally I go for walks with my harness to help individuals with rigid movements associated with catatonia, or to assist to reduce anxiety in the community. I am really good at acknowledging what my needs are for changing circumstances.

If you would like me to be available for your one-on-one sessions, make sure to ask our friendly humans.

How Willow Can Help

All animal-assisted therapy sessions are carefully planned and led by a qualified Occupational Therapist, with safety, consent, and therapeutic goals always prioritised.

Willow attends 1:1 Occupational Therapy sessions and supports participants in real-world environments, including public transport training, highly stressful meetings, and visits to schools, aged care facilities, day programs, and community settings.

Her presence can help reduce anxiety, support emotional regulation, increase engagement, and build confidence during challenging or unfamiliar situations.
