Inspiring Growth

A Bit About Preziosa Therapia
​​​​
Healing, growth, and connection – through empathy, expertise, and the power of animals.
​
Every story starts somewhere – and ours starts with me, Louise.
​
Throughout my diverse career, one thing has always remained constant: a passion for helping people. Whether supporting clients, patients, or service users, I’ve always focused on motivational interviewing and coaching techniques to help uncover goals, needs, and purpose.
​
I’m currently training on the BACP pathway to become a fully qualified and registered counsellor, while also leading a mental health crisis service and delivering Mental Health First Aid training. All of this forms the backbone of Preziosa Therapia – a service built from lived experience, creativity, and genuine care.
​
Meet the Team Behind the Vision
From a young age, we knew Chloe was destined to make a difference. Her journey led her through university, into postgraduate study, and now, proudly, she is a qualified and registered children’s social worker.
​
Her academic drive and natural empathy made it only fitting that she co-found Preziosa Therapia alongside me. Chloe specialises in under-18s, using her training in child and adolescent development and behavioural strategy to support young people through life’s challenges – often, of course, with help from our furry coaching team.
​
So… What Is Preziosa Therapia?
​
Great question – it’s whatever you need it to be.
Preziosa Therapia is being developed to be a pioneering service that blends traditional therapeutic approaches with the benefits of Animal Assisted Therapy (AAT), under the guidance of the BACP ethical framework.
We will soon be introducing our Foundation Therapia Assistance Dog, raised and trained specifically to support individuals and groups in various settings. Once fully certified, this special dog will be available for:
-
Hospitals & Hospices
-
Schools & SEN Settings
-
Veterans & Emergency Services
-
Corporate Wellbeing Events
-
1:1 Therapy Sessions
-
Home Visits
In the meantime, our beloved Dachshunds – young and old – already visit preschools, hospices, and community sites, sharing moments of joy, calm, and connection wherever they go.
​
Looking Ahead
We are incredibly proud of the dedication that has brought Preziosa Therapia to life. This project is deeply personal, and Chloe and I are committed to creating a unique, confidential, and compassionate space for those who need support outside of the traditional models.
As we take our first steps, services will be limited while we complete our professional registrations and training, but we’re excited for what lies ahead.

Personal Experience
Motivation
I have had years of experience working with others to achieve goals, some more practical and others very deep rooted and linked to abstaining from offending behaviour. Having had a broad exposure to neurodiversity both in and out of my personal life, I have devoted a lot of my time over the years to formatting strategies, providing peer to peer training and supporting friends who are dealing with the challenges that being neuordiverse can being, whether it be themselves or their children - I seem to "have the T-Shirt", in many situations and enjoy arming those who need it, with tools to turn what can seem like a life sentence, into a superpower.
"Nothing motivates me more than the look on someones face who is achieving. Achieving happiness after a period of low mood, or achieving a practical goal. Watching someones confidence grow in front of you, is a feeling like no other. Devoting my life to my dogs has given me valuable insight, into their ability to assist in these moments, in a totally unique and magical way; It was a natural progression to blend my love for animals with my love for helping people; and so, Preziosa Therapia was born."

Personal Experience
Motivation
"I have been working in Early Years Education and the Private Nannying sector, for 6 years, and I have a passion for supporting the healthy brain development of infants through to adolescence and young adulthood. I am currently a student social worker just about to complete my Masters (MSC) degree. I have specialised interests and have conducted research into the negative affects poverty, impact of domestic violence, SEN and Adverse Childhood Experience's (ACES) and how these can influence our behaviour and psychological well-being".
"During a stressful experience in my personal life in 2022 following a bereavement, I used my professional knowledge, research and pro- active nature to combine my love for science and animals. Getting stuck into grooming horses, and training our dogs, opened my mind to the power of Animal Assisted Therapy (AAT). I want to support and nurture others to experience the incredible sense of relief and calm that Animal Assisted Therapy evokes."
Qualifications
"Following my GCSE'S and subsequent qualifications within early years education, I graduated from Chichester University with my Batchelor of Arts (BA) degree in Early Years Education and Development.
I have since received a distinction in my Animal Assisted Therapy (AAT) diploma. Throughout my career I have acquired many continuing professional development courses which have given me invaluable therapeutic and neurological development knowledge.
Additionally I have had training from the Isle of Wight Council in open and honest conversations as well as Paediatric first aid, during my placement within Children's Services. Following recent completion of my (MSC) degree in Social Work, I am also a UK registered Social Worker."
