Equine Assisted Therapy
Individual Sessions
Individual sessions with partnered with one of our therapy horses. Sessions integrate different therapeutic models, and will be tailored to meet your needs and goals. Therapy models we use include Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR). These models are adapted to use alongside our horses and to fit alongside broader Equine Assisted Psychotherapy principles. See more about these here.
Generally sessions will be held outside (we are used to rain here!), but we also have an indoor therapy space which leads directly onto an outdoor area where horses can be present. Sessions can be a mix of outdoor and indoors, and will often involve time both directly with a therapy horse and observing the herd. There is no pressure to spend time directly with horses straight away, and this can be taken entirely at your own pace. We tend to find at least six sessions is helpful, and review regularly.
Rates are £130 per session.

Canine Assisted Therapy
Individual Sessions
Canine assisted therapy sessions can be held in our therapy space overlooking our horses, walking outdoors, or a combination of both.
Sessions integrate a number of therapeutic models, including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Commitment and Acceptance Therapy (ACT) and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), and can be a very good option for those who are seeking a more traditional clinic based therapy approach, but would benefit from an outdoor setting, and the presence of our trained therapy dog, Jara.
See more about the types of therapy we use here.
These sessions can be stand alone, but can also be a combination of equine assisted and canine assisted therapy. Our horses can still be present during canine assisted sessions, but there is no pressure to interact with the horses at any time.
Rates are £130 per session.
Timings
Sessions are held on Monday and Friday mornings and last for 50 minutes. Session costs are £130.
Online sessions can be funded via BUPA insurance.
