Our sessions together…

I am a qualified counsellor specialising in Equine and Animal Assisted Therapy which means I support clients working alongside horses and other animals in a positive, natural environment that inspires positive change and growth

Please be aware that while we engage with the horses, my approach to Equine Assisted Therapy does not center around teaching natural horsemanship or horseback riding. In my methodology, the horses are not utilized as active participants; rather, they contribute to the therapeutic environment, playing a valuable role without the necessity of haltering and leading them around. During our therapy sessions, the horses are free to interact naturally. It is crucial to avoid coercing the horses into participating; they have the autonomy to move towards or away based on their individual needs. This aligns with the same consideration and safety we extend to our clients.
