About Elysian

At Elysian, our journey began with a shared passion and a collective vision to make a meaningful difference in the world of animal-assisted interventions. Founded by Charlotte Williams and a dedicated team of professionals with diverse backgrounds in social care, education, and therapy, Elysian was born out of a recognition of the profound impact animals can have on human well-being.

Why Choose Elysian?

As Elysian grew and expanded its reach, the need for comprehensive training in animal-assisted interventions became increasingly evident. While online resources provided valuable theoretical knowledge, there was a clear gap in practical, hands-on learning experiences. This realisation fuelled our determination to create training programs that went beyond traditional methods, offering immersive, experiential learning opportunities for aspiring practitioners.

Holistic Approach

Our training programs are designed to encompass the holistic well-being of both individuals and animals, emphasising empathy, respect, and ethical practice.

Hands-On Learning

We believe in the power of experiential learning, providing participants with hands-on opportunities to interact with animals in a safe and supportive environment.

Expertise and Experience

With years of experience in the field of animal-assisted interventions, our team brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to every training program and consultancy project.

 

Our Goal

Driven by our commitment to excellence and a deep-rooted belief in the transformative power of animal-assisted interventions, we decided to develop training programs that would equip individuals with the skills, knowledge, and confidence to make a positive impact on the lives of the individuals and groups they work with. Drawing upon our expertise and experience, we designed innovative training curricula that blend theory with practice, allowing participants to gain practical skills and insights that are essential for effective practice.
