Are you seeking a unique way to enrich your client's emotional well-being, boost confidence, and enhance their social skills? Your search ends here with our newest group program, Insightful Paws – a children's group that seamlessly integrates the successful Insight-Full Kids Program with the incredible benefits of Animal-Assisted Therapy (AAT).

At Insight Therapies Counselling and Consultancy, we deeply understand the profound impact therapy dogs can have on a child's development. Here's how our program empowers children in the areas of emotional awareness, mindfulness, emotional regulation, confidence, and social skills:

Fostering Emotional Awareness: Our therapy dogs provide a nurturing environment where children can explore and understand their own emotions. Through gentle interactions and observation of our intuitive canine companions, children develop a heightened awareness of their feelings, gaining insights into the complex world of emotions.
Promoting Mindfulness: Interacting with therapy dogs encourages a state of mindfulness in children. By being fully present in the moment during these interactions, children learn to appreciate the value of mindfulness, a skill that can be applied to everyday life, helping them manage stress and anxiety effectively.
Enhancing Emotional Regulation: Canine-assisted therapy is a powerful tool for teaching children how to regulate their emotions. Our therapy dogs provide a calming presence, offering a non-judgmental space for children to practice emotional regulation techniques. This helps them learn how to navigate and express their feelings in healthy ways.
Building Confidence: Through guided activities and teamwork with our canine companions, children gain confidence in their abilities. The unconditional love and support of our therapy dogs boost their self-esteem, empowering them to face challenges with newfound self-assurance.
Developing Social Skills: Insightful Paws takes pride in its ability to enhance children's social skills. In group settings, children engage in collaborative activities alongside their canine partners, fostering teamwork and communication. These experiences pave the way for improved social interactions and the formation of meaningful connections with peers.
