Horses are deeply intuitive, sentient beings. They don’t judge, they don’t interrupt, and they don’t care about your past—they respond to how you show up in the moment. This makes them powerful mirrors for emotional states, helping clients notice and shift what’s happening in their minds and bodies in real time.

That’s completely okay—and actually very common. You don’t need any horse experience. You won’t be riding or asked to do anything outside your comfort zone. Some clients start simply by standing nearby or connecting with one of our miniature horses. We move at your pace.

Yes. Research and lived experience support equine-assisted psychotherapy as an effective approach for trauma, anxiety, depression, PTSD, and more. Horses offer a non-verbal, embodied way of working through challenges—especially for people who may feel stuck or disconnected in traditional talk therapy.

I combine evidence-based counselling practices with nature-based, equine-assisted psychotherapy to create a holistic and grounded experience. Sessions are not limited to talk—they engage your whole self: body, mind, and emotions. For many clients, this experiential approach feels more natural, effective, and deeply healing.
