Animal Assisted Therapy and Art Assisted Wellbeing
**PLEASE NOTE ALL SERVICES ARE SUSPENDED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE**
Pets and Picasso CIC offers animal and art assisted therapy and wellbeing services within Plymouth and surrounding areas. Our work is founded in the belief that the integration of animals and art into health practices can significantly enhance physical and mental health and wellbeing. We have premises at City Business Park in Stoke and also offer outreach sessions as well.
We work with a wide variety of clients including individuals dealing with mental health challenges, physical health conditions, social, emotional and behavioural needs, or those simply looking to enhance their wellbeing.
Every session is led by a registered nurse with a master’s degree in ‘Arts, Health and Wellbeing’, ensuring our practices are rooted in the latest research and best practices. This clinical expertise enhances the therapeutic experience, allowing participants to receive the highest level of care and attention.
Director, Pets and Picasso CIC
Anna Corwood
“Throughout my life, animals and the arts have played crucial roles in supporting my mental health and overall wellbeing. As a registered nurse, I have also witnessed firsthand the profound impact that animals and the arts can have on patients, their families, and friends. Their faces invariably light up when a beloved pet enters the room; I have seen the comfort they find in reminiscing about previous animal companions; and I have seen their excitement in meeting an animal for the first time. I have also seen the peace and pride they find in creating something beautiful. In times of distress, grief, confusion, and fear, I have witnessed countless individuals turning to their pets or the arts to find strength and solace, including individuals facing life-altering injuries or illnesses, who find respite in the companionship of their pets or in the creative expression of different art forms.”
