Insight guaranteed! 100% of clients experience immediate new awareness about themselves.
 
 
Tired of talking? Do you want to reach the core issues beyond the surface quickly by finding out how you are by how you behave and experience life, not by what you say? Equine Assisted Psychotherapy is an emerging field which incorporates the horse/human relationship into therapy.This is a poweful experiential approach that is very engaging and effective. We can offer Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP) and Equine Assisted Learning (EAL).
We are the only EAGALA certified practice in the West Mids.
 
 
WHY HORSES?
 Because horses are prey animals they read others continuously for their survival. They are able to pick up on what is going on with you below the surface. They feel the real you beyond expectations and pretence. Horses bring naturally  the qualities that therapists strive for. They respond to you as you are, they dont lie nor hide what they feel, for many being in a relationship that is this honest without any hidden agendas is truly rewarding and illuminating.
  
 
WHAT HAPPENS?HHHow it works
Clients are given tasks to do with the horses. How the client responds to the task and the horse responds to them is observed by a horse specialist (EAGALA Cert) and a therapist. Horses tell us and the client how they are. The client interprets what happens. Our horse specialists are also trained mental health specialists and visa versa. The interactions are a dress rehearsal for life. Programmes are individually designed and due to the powerful and effective nature of this psychotherapy, they are usually brief 8-12 sessions. We can offer one off EAL sessions and incorporate EAP sessions into a programme of counselling for counsellors.
We can work outdoors (weather permitting) in a lovely setting or indoors in a private indoor school.
The price of sessions varies depending on venue, length of session, amount of clients. We are a not for profit organisation. Please contact for enquiries.

'..horses put me back on the path to myself'

 

'...if anyone had told me I wouldn't have believed it, I had to experience how I was and what direct effect it was having on others around me'

 

'...without the horses I wouldn't have made it'

 

' I learnt that things aren't what they seem. That I can protect myself and be a leader.'

 

' I learnt not to give up and not to get mad.'

 

' I realised by trying to control everything I was losing control.'

 

' They knew... All my life I have pretended but they saw straight through me, and tried

to help.'

 

' I can't put that into words just unbelievable, he knew.'

 

' It was like a condensed version of how I am and it smacked me right in the face...'
