Lifeworks Psychology Australia is excited to welcome a new member, of a different kind, to our team! Meet Remy. A therapy-dog-in-training with our Clinical Psychologist Coleen van Wyk.
In addition to being a warm, empathic, highly experienced psychologist, Coleen is also a dog lover and proud new mama to the beautiful Remy. Coleen has seen firsthand the benefits of integrating pets into therapy and she is excited to see how Remy will settle into her new role.
There is increasing evidence that pets can help improve mental health and overall wellbeing. Pets are a welcome addition to many different therapeutic spaces around the world including clinics, schools, hospitals, and aged care facilities. See this article for more information.
Of course, if clients would prefer Remy not to be present during sessions, please feel free to mention this to Coleen.
Once again, welcome to Remy and we look forward to clients experiencing the benefits of therapy sessions with Remy, and Coleen of course!
