For The Media

Articles about us and our work have been published in the Mail on Sunday YOU Magazine 27th June  http://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/you/article-1289296/Health-notes-The-poodle-powered-powwow.html and Lola has been featured in ‘Dogs Monthly’ magazine, June 2010. We have written an article troubleshooting problems children are likely to have when starting school, which will be published in ‘Right Start’ magazine, September/ October issue.

We are always interested in providing relevant comment, interviews and articles about our work with children, working with a Therapy Dog and current news items/proposed legislation affecting young people. You are welcome to arrange to visit us at Marchants House Therapy Centre, located in the tranquil countryside on the Kent/ Sussex border and we can also give interviews by ‘phone and email.

For any enquiries, please contact us without obligation.
