Outdoor Nature-based & Equine Assisted Counselling

Counselling in the outdoors, or in the presence of horses, has many benefits. Whether it be supporting clients that are uncomfortable or disengaged in a room-based setting, or clients that seek that external support and connection to assist them in their therapeutic journey. Both Outdoor Counselling and Equine Therapy provide fundamental tools for regulation and support for both adults and children.
  • Nature and Animals assist in regulation - this is very supportive when discussing difficult material that you may like to bring to counselling
  • Horses allow us to come into the "here and now". This helps notice and name our present feelings, and recognise how to deal with feelings we are holding back.
  • Outdoor and Equine counselling increase awareness, which also assists us to be present during the process.
  • Horses can teach us a lot about ourselves, about how we are in relationship with another, patterns that we may have in our lives, and which of those patterns no longer serve us.
  • Many people say they feel acceptance and trust with the horse, sometimes on the very first meeting. Developing trusting and supportive relationships, can be very restorative and corrective for the client.
