Equine Therapy North Brisbane - Woodford.
Counselling for you, in nature, with horses ~ therapy designed to deepen your experience and elevate the therapeutic outcomes.
We are fully accredited and your sessions will be with a qualified Psychotherapist.
There is no horse riding involved and no experience required.
Perhaps being in a room or on zoom isn't ideal or appealing for you, maybe you enjoy the outdoors or relate to animals a lot easier than people.
This is a photo of my co-workers waiting to come into the session arena - they love to help you connect to your true self and follow your hearts journey. Horses offer such a genuine, non-judgement feedback. I am continuously in awe of how they show up and help us humans be more present and authentic, how they hold space while we heal our past selves and step into the here and now.
In Equine Assisted Psychotherapy sessions, clients are offered safe (physically and emotionally) experiences with horses. We start with a chat about your needs today and move into a regulation activity to bring a sense of peace and calm to the mind and body.
You will then be invited some experience options with the horses that can help you explore your challenges, needs or requested therapeutic goals. This may include observation of horses, meeting with horses at liberty, touching, grooming and leading your horse, leading at liberty (leading horses without a lead rope) or various creative activities with the horses.
EAP is effective, as you are experiencing your self with a genuine, non-judgmental feedback the horses offer whilst alongside a qualified Psychotherapist. It is quite a connective practice and just doesn't compare to room based counselling sessions. I know this as I worked in a counselling room for 8 years and this is without a doubt more effective!

I'm happy to answer any questions you may have.
You do not need to have any experience with horses, sessions are held outside, your therapy experiences are offered on the ground - this is not a riding lesson.
You are welcome to work as closely or as far away from the horses as you feel comfortable. As we are going to be outside with horses it is advised that your wear clothing you don't mind getting a bit messy, have closed toed shoes and are prepared to be working out in the sun - please be sun safe, bring a hat and water and wear sunscreen.
You will be supported by a fully qualified psychotherapist/equine therapist to explore and work on your needs or goals. Sessions run for 60 minutes, bookings are essential.
There is no smoking permitted on the grounds for safety reasons. These sessions are for you, so please remember that your privacy is really important, if someone is bringing you let them know, and please try not to arrive any more than 10mintutes earlier than your session time so we can ensure the previous person has their privacy too.
