Therapy Animals
Disability Support has introduced therapy animals to support clients during appointments or for one-to-one sessions. People can request a therapy animal when they book an appointment.
We are also happy to take the animals to visit different venues, such as schools or social groups.
We do not charge but are grateful for a minimum £5 donation for individuals and £15 for group visits.
Indie
My name is Indie, and I am a mastiff. I am a regular fixture in the office and when not sleeping on the settee I like to meet the clients and am always happy to sit in with them on appointments. I absolutely love company; I am very patient and gentle – I have a heart of gold.
Taz
My name is Taz, and I am six years old. I am a tegu lizard. I will happily sit on your shoulder and relax with you. I am an intelligent lizard and love company. I also love to bask in the sun.
I am a native of Central and South America. You can follow me on Instagram at #taztegu.
Reggie
My name is Reggie and I am a French bulldog. I'm five years old, and I live with Louisa, who gave me a forever home. I love fussing, playing with a ball, and, like a typical Frenchie, making gassy smells. (Sorry)
Almond
My name is Almond, and I am a ball python. I love being handled; I am very calm and relaxed. I was at the National Centre for Reptile Welfare when Charlotte found and rehomed me. Did you know I am also known as a royal python? I am the smallest of the African pythons, growing to a maximum length of 182 cm (6 ft).
