Equine-assisted therapeutic work offers a unique relational space where communication, regulation and emotional awareness can emerge beyond words.

Horses are highly attuned to movement, emotion and nervous system states, often responding not to what is said, but to how a person feels, relates and presents in the moment. This can create powerful opportunities for self-awareness, emotional regulation, confidence-building and relational connection.

My equine-assisted work is grounded in relational and trauma-informed practice and can support children, adolescents and adults who may find traditional therapeutic environments overwhelming, inaccessible or difficult to engage with verbally.

I offer both one-to-one and group-based equine-assisted sessions, alongside therapeutic workshops and collaborative work within alternative provision settings.

Sessions may support:

• Emotional regulation and nervous system awareness

• Confidence and self-esteem

• Relational safety and trust-building

• Anxiety and emotional overwhelm

• Neurodivergent and sensory needs

• Communication and connection beyond words

• Teamwork, boundaries and social interaction

Depending on the needs of the individual or group, sessions may integrate reflective therapeutic discussion, creative exploration and experiential learning alongside interaction with the horses.

Alongside private therapeutic work, I collaborate with alternative provision and educational settings to provide equine-assisted therapeutic sessions, relational workshops and emotionally supportive group experiences for children and young people who may struggle within traditional educational environments.

At the heart of this work is the belief that healing and connection can emerge through presence, relationship and embodied experience — often beyond words.
