Welcome to Bubbles Animal Therapy, we are an independent Pet Therapy and Animal Intervention service based in Loughborough, providing services across the Midlands.
Our feline-assisted intervention services offer scientifically proven anxiety and stress reduction through cat interaction, particularly effective for patients in mental health or memory care environments, or for those dealing with loneliness, depression, PTSD, and rehabilitation needs.Our therapy animals are trained to high standards by ABTC licensed animal practitioners. Animal Assisted Intervention has been found to actively reduce the symptoms of loneliness, depression and anxiety, and promoted patient engagement in rehabilitation sessions. The interactions with animals also relieved many physiological symptoms. (Hosey et al. 2018)According to the Intensive Care Society, Animal therapy offers a more humanised healthcare experience backed by many NHS Trusts and recognised by the Care Quality Commission.Cats provide a gentle, calming presence that benefits not just patients, but also families and staff.

Meet our team
Eddie Kent
Lead Animal Assisted Intervention Practitioner
Hi, I'm Eddie, the owner of Bubbles Therapy. I am passionate about patient care in both clinical and non-clinical settings.I started Bubbles Therapy after witnessing firsthand the remarkable impact that animal companionship had on my patients during my years in the NHS. Time and again, I saw how the presence of animals and pets could calm anxious patients, bring smiles to those in distress, and provide comfort during challenging moments. This inspired me to combine my healthcare experience with my love for animals to create a service that brings joy and healing to those who need it most.Before starting Bubbles Therapy, I worked as an Emergency Medical Technician. I hold two healthcare diplomas in Health and Social Care and Emergency Medical treatment. This background has given me a deep understanding of patient needs and the importance of compassionate care.Today, our team of carefully selected and trained therapy pets can work with clients in various settings, from hospitals and rehabilitation centers to schools and senior living facilities.
