Equine Therapy

Therapists and horses work together to support clients to safely explore and process trauma.

 

This specialist form of therapy increases awareness, fosters a dynamic trust, and a mindful connection between human and animal.

 

Unlike traditional talking therapies, it encourages non-verbal communication, presence, and self-awareness. Through interaction with horses, clients are able to identify emotional patterns, behaviours, and responses in a calm and supported environment.

 

Equine Assisted Psychotherapy supports mental health professionals and equine specialists working collaboratively to facilitate positive outcomes for clients.
