About Paws for Compassion

At Paws for Compassion, I provide professional, evidence-based therapy services with the help of Winnie, my beloved hypoallergenic Cavoodle.

With over 10 years of experience as a qualified Social Worker, I specialise in supporting individuals, schools, and communities to improve mental health and overall wellbeing.

Winnie, a specially trained therapy dog, offers comfort, connection, and emotional support to people of all ages.

Together, we visit schools, aged care facilities, hospitals and private homes, providing tailored support to those in need.

I hold a valid 'Working with Children Checks' (WWCC) for education settings and 'National Police Check' (NPC).
