Animal Assisted Support That Builds Confidence & Connection
At Mentally Hooked, we provide animal assisted supports on the Gold Coast for NDIS participants who want meaningful, capacity-focused support in a calm and natural setting. Our sessions use guided interaction with animals to support emotional regulation, confidence building and personal growth.
Spending time with animals can create a steady, grounding environment where you feel safe to explore emotions and practise self-regulation skills. With structured, supported activities, you can build awareness of how you respond to situations, learn practical calming strategies and develop greater confidence in social and everyday settings.
We design each session around your NDIS goals. Whether you are working towards improved emotional regulation, stronger communication skills or increased independence, we tailor supports to suit your needs and capacity.
Along with animal assisted therapy, we also provide community access, short term accommodation (STA) and assistance with daily living on the Gold Coast. Together, these services help you build independence, stay connected and enjoy more of the things that matter to you.
If animal assisted supports sound like something you would like to explore, call us on 0416 889 800 and chat with the team at Mentally Hooked.

Connection Through Shared Experiences
Looking for something that helps you feel more settled and capable in everyday life? Animal assisted therapy offers a calm, low-pressure way to build emotional regulation and self-belief in a supportive setting.
Emotional Regulation Through Animals: We use animal assisted therapy to create calm, structured experiences that help you recognise emotional responses and practise self-regulation skills. Guided interaction with animals encourages steady, consistent behaviour, giving you space to slow down, build awareness of triggers and develop strategies you can apply in everyday settings.
Confidence Building: Small, supported tasks such as caring for or working alongside animals create meaningful opportunities for achievement. We tailor each session to your comfort level, helping you build communication skills, independence and self-belief through practical experience.
Outdoor Animal-Based Activities: Our sessions take place in natural environments where feeding, grooming, walking or quiet observation form part of the experience. Being outdoors supports engagement and focus, while helping skills develop in practical, real-world settings.
Capacity Building In Natural Environments: Every activity links back to your NDIS goals. We shape supports around daily living skills, social participation and emotional awareness, ensuring each session contributes to measurable personal growth.
