With a background in working with vulnerable children I am passionate about supporting young people to be able to identify, process and communicate their feelings and emotions. I believe these are building blocks to healthy relationships, self awareness and good mental health as they transition into adulthood.
Working therapeutically with horses and spending time outdoors in nature supports young people in learning to regulate their emotions, express themselves, build confidence, and put in appropriate boundaries.
Combining counselling and Equine Assisted Therapy can also help young people process difficult experiences in a safe and contained way and without the reliance on verbal communication. Horses are extremely grounded and place no expectations on clients.
Sessions with young people are tailored to the individual and gently guided by myself as the therapist. They are often creative, playful and insightful.
I am able to accept referrals from parents, carers and agencies working with young people age 10 and over. Please call or email for more Information or a referral form.
