Equine Assisted Therapy

Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP) is one of the models used in this practice. EAP is just like regular counselling or psychotherapy only it is outdoors where a therapy horse works alongside the therapist to support the client. No riding involved.

​

Proven model of therapy

Research has proven EAP to be a highly effective model of therapy, achieving significant breakthroughs with clients especially with men and adolescents who prefer to be free from the constrains of indoor sessions sitting opposite a counsellor.

Why work with horses?

Horses are highly sensitive and can easily read and respond honestly by mirroring what is happening for a participant. This interaction occurs spontaneously and naturally with the horses, and by using horses rather than just a mental health practitioner, the participant is not restricted by feelings of being judged or interpreted by another person.

Therapist client connection

Therapy works best if you can find a therapist you can establish a trusting connection with. But finding the right counsellor for you can be stressful and often costly with  time and money.
