About
Horses are great therapeutic agents because they mirror human emotions. They can connect with people in a way which is often described as 'magical'. This is given by the untamed, immediate nature of the animal, its integrity, and how instant and deep-reaching the contact feels. It goes beyond verbal barriers and only occurs when we are open.
In a session, the team consists of a horse, a horse specialist, a counsellor or psychotherapist, and the client, or group of clients, or couple. Activities, or tasks involving the horse are created, and the horses behaviour shows the client how to move forward. The horse responds directly to us, and gives us honest feedback.
One session takes an hour. You can just book a one-off session to solve a particular issue, or a course of 6-8 sessions as a course for a deeper insight.
As the work is extremely powerful, less sessions of Equine Assisted work are required than counselling or psychotherapy without horses. Fees vary depending on the nature of the work, whether it is group, couple, individual or organisational. Please contact us to discuss a presonalised program.
