Therapy Services
I am able to offer therapy services in both Equine Assisted Counselling & Psychotherapy and Somatic Experiencing.
I draw from my training as an Equusoma Practitioner, Equine Assisted Psychotherapist and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner. Through these approaches I support clients to enhance self-awareness, explore and develop solutions to alleviate distress, create meaningful relationships and move towards personal growth and healing.
I offer individual therapy services and work with children, adolescents and adults.
Some common issues and themes:
Emotional awareness and intelligence - recognising and managing emotions, coping with distress
Mind-body connection - mindfulness, impact of emotional stress and trauma on the body
Relationship with yourself - self-esteem, self-criticism, fear of failure, isolation/loneliness
Relationship with others - boundaries, communication, conflict
Grief and loss - death, relationships, change in life circumstances
Identity - exploring meaning or purpose in life, examining personal beliefs, understanding self and sense of belonging in the world
Mental health and trauma - stress, anxiety, depression, traumatic stress injuries
Additional supporting approaches are drawn from :
Nature-based mindfulness
Ecotherapy (exploring the relationship between humans and nature)
Self-compassion
Interpersonal process
Existential therapy
Trauma-informed care and practice
