Equine Experiential Psychotherapy is an evidence-based approach where the horse and human work together toward growth and transformation, with the horse as the teacher. Powerful transformations happen when we tune into what the horse is telling us.
Horse as a Teacher Who can Benefit?
Horses are sentient beings who pick up on our emotions and behaviours. They mirror our dynamics back to us, creating greater self-awareness and compassion both for ourselves and others.
Individuals looking to increase confidence, process emotions, manage stress, strengthen relationships and improve well-being.
What to Expect in an Equine Session.
Connection.
Learn to connect authentically to yourself and others in a safe and judgement-free place. Horses gently show us what is in the way of deep connection.
Compassion.
Learn to deepen your compassion for yourself and others. Horses teach us how to have a compassionate outlook in the world.
Insight.
Horses give us deep insight into who we authentically are. They teach us to see our patterns and behaviours from a new lens.
Equine Experiential Psychotherapy is an approach for people looking to create deep change in life, deepen their connection to self and others and live more compassionately. Horses help us tune into our intuition, awaken our spirit and live authentically. This is an evidence-based approach in which the horses guide you to overcome blocks and limiting patterns of behaviour, they teach us how to regain our personal power, self-confidence and emotional agility.
Equine Assisted Psychotherapy
Equine-assisted psychotherapy within a private practice setting offers a unique and powerful therapeutic experience, yet it may not be a suitable choice for everyone. Individuals who have received diagnoses of psychiatric disorders, are living with substance use concerns, or are at risk of self-harm or harming others are better served by a comprehensive, team-based approach. In these cases, collaborating with a multi-disciplinary team rather than a therapist in a private practice is often the most appropriate and effective course of action.
