Talk with Tails provides professional counselling services incorporating the unique benefits of canine-assisted therapy to support emotional well-being across the lifespan.
Led by an experienced counsellor, Jodee who works alongside therapy dogs Ranger and Ziva to create a safe, calming environment where clients can feel supported and heard. Sessions are available one-on-one or in group settings, with services offered both in schools and in the community. We specialise in supporting individuals navigating grief and loss, neurodivergence (including ASD and ADHD), anxiety, and social and emotional challenges.
Canine-assisted therapy can help build connection, regulate emotions, reduce anxiety, and improve confidence – particularly for those who may find traditional counselling settings overwhelming. With their calming presence and intuitive nature, Ranger and Ziva bring a unique warmth to the therapeutic space, helping clients feel at ease and more open to engaging in the process.
Based in northern suburbs of Melbourne, Talk with Tails can travel to schools, homes, and community spaces within a reasonable distance, providing flexible, accessible support tailored to each client's needs and goals.
If you're looking for compassionate counselling with a difference, Talk with Tails is here to walk alongside you.
