Meet Oscar — Therapy Dog in Training! 🐾

Hello lovely community 💙

As many of you know, Reflexions Therapy Services is about supporting emotional wellbeing, connection and healing in ways that feel safe and respectful for each individual.

So today I’m thrilled to introduce you to someone who’s quickly become an important part of what we do…

🐶 Meet Oscar, our Therapy Dog in Training!

Oscar has already met many of our clients when he was just a tiny puppy, and it has been heart-warming to see the connections he’s made along the way. He’s gentle, kind, intuitive, and already valued by many who have met him. We are working towards him becoming an accredited therapy dog, and are excited about the role he may play in supporting emotional engagement and comfort in therapeutic work.

Important information about Oscar and sessions:
�• Oscar does not have to be present in session if you would prefer he isn’t, your comfort is always the priority.�• He may not be available for every session unless this has been discussed as part of your therapy plan.

Having a friendly canine presence as part of therapy work isn’t just enjoyable, there’s research showing real benefits. Studies indicate that animal-assisted interventions with dogs can help children and young people improve emotional regulation and interaction during therapeutic activities, and may support engagement in a way that feels less intimidating than traditional therapy alone.
(See references below)

We feel very grateful for Oscar’s contribution so far, and look forward to continuing this journey with all of you, whether four-legged support is part of your sessions or not 🐕💛
If you have any questions about Oscar, his training, or how animal-supported work may fit with your therapy, feel free to get in touch.

As we move into 2026, I’ll be introducing things gradually, thoughtfully ,and always with integrity at the centre.

look out in the new year for details.

🌿 A Little Update from Me 🌿

Hello everyone, it's been a while since I last posted, life has a way of keeping us on our toes! I'm pleased to say that I now have a bit more time on my hands, and I’ll be returning to more regular updates here.

The sanctuary will always hold a very special place in my heart. It remains a space of peace, healing, and purpose and I’m incredibly grateful to the dedicated team of volunteers who have stepped in and taken over its day-to-day running. Their compassion and commitment mean that the sanctuary continues to thrive, and I couldn’t be more thankful.

With that wonderful team in place, I’m now shifting my focus back to Reflexions, something that has never been just a job to me. Providing therapeutic care is my passion, and I feel truly privileged to walk alongside so many of you on your healing journeys.

Reflexions offers a range of holistic therapies aimed at supporting emotional wellbeing, stress relief, and personal growth. If you’d like to learn more about the services I offer, please visit: 🌐 www.reflexions.org.uk

It’s also with great humility that I share this lovely news: I’ve recently been recognised as a Community Champion by the Rotary. Being honoured in this way is deeply meaningful, and I’m sharing the certificate here with immense gratitude to all who’ve supported me over the years. 💛

Thank you for continuing to be part of this journey, I’m looking forward to reconnecting with you all again soon.

With love and light,
Izzy 🌼

🌟 Helping Teens Thrive – One Step at a Time 🌟

Working therapeutically with teenagers is not just my profession – it's my passion. Every day, I have the privilege of supporting young people who are navigating challenges such as anxiety, school refusal, and the complexities of living with Autism, ADHD and other emotional or psychological health needs.

In our sessions, I provide a safe, non-judgemental space where teens can explore their thoughts and feelings freely. It's a space where they’re truly heard, without pressure, without judgement, and where we work together, alongside their parents or carers, to build the understanding, resilience and tools they need to thrive.

🛠️ But therapy isn't just about talking. It's about taking away real, practical tools that help young people manage the everyday and becoming proficient in using them. Many of the teens I work with reach a point where they can not only use these strategies for themselves, but also explain them to others, a powerful step in self-advocacy and confidence.

✨ The image below is something truly special. One of my teenage clients created this poster as a personal reminder of the tools we’ve developed together. It’s such a thoughtful and empowering piece, I asked her (with full permission) if I could share it here because I believe it could help others too.

This poster now has pride of place in my office, a daily reminder of the creativity, strength and insight teens bring to their own healing journeys when given the space to grow.

If you think your teen might benefit from a therapeutic approach like this, grounded in collaboration, empowerment, and real-world tools, feel free to visit www.reflexions.org.uk or send me a message.

Together, we can support your teen to feel more in control, more understood, and more capable of handling whatever life throws their way. 💬💪
