Meet Ember

Ember is a toy Cavoodle who sometimes joins her mum, Nicole Wallace, at Evolving Minds Counselling and Psychology in the Sutherland Shire.

​

Friendly, curious and always happy to receive some attention, Ember brings a little extra personality to the practice. She is usually quite content to settle nearby, although she is equally happy when someone is willing to stop for a pat.

​​

For some clients, having a dog in the room can make coming to a psychology appointment feel a little less daunting. Ember can provide something familiar to focus on when conversation feels difficult, offer a natural pause during a session, or simply make the therapy room feel more relaxed.

​

This can be particularly helpful for adolescents who may feel unsure about coming to therapy or find sitting and talking with someone new uncomfortable. Some adults also simply enjoy having a dog nearby while they talk.

​

When she isn't spending time with Nicole and her clients, you may find Ember enjoying some attention from the Evolving Minds team or a well earned nap.

 

If you have an appointment with Nicole and would prefer Ember to be present, or would prefer a dog-free appointment, please let our Client Care Team know.
