Transformative Equine Assisted Psychotherapy in Adelaide
Healing through horses and nature.
What is Equine Assisted Psychotherapy?
Equine Assisted Psychotherapy is a creative and experiential approach to therapy that allows for you to engage with horses and the natural environment in a safe, trauma informed manner. Horses and nature can offer a unique opportunity for you to feel supported in a different way compared to more conventional therapeutic models. In this uncomplicated space, conversely challenging and often highly distressing thoughts, emotions and associated behaviours can be explored more safely and non-judgmentally. Spending time in the presence of horses in nature offers you a chance to feel a true sense of inner calmness and an authentic experience - perhaps for the first time in your life.
Meet Ali and Forest
Ali and Forest are our amazing therapy horses! Ali is our 20 year old mare who has a lovely calm and confident manner. Forest is our 13 year old gelding who is sweet and gentle. They both have temperaments and qualities that make them well suited to equine assisted psychotherapy. Their genuine good naturedness, sense of curiosity, playfulness and love of company make them a delight to spend time with. They are wonderful at role modelling how to get needs met and providing a safe space for healing and growth.
