​I support clients who have more complex mental health challenges, particularly those involving traumatic experiences. I feel a strong pull towards supporting people who have been through life changing events, such as people who are going through the menopause, and those who are struggling with grief.

 

Learning to be present in the here-and-now is important to help the brain and body learn to feel less stressed and recognise that we are safe. My sessions centre around this, and I will help you to feel safe in your body, safe with me, and safe around the horses. 

​

Together we will work on building a strong and trusting relationship from which you can come to recognise uncomfortable sensations, explore what emotions are contributing to this, and better understand yourself. We will work with the horses, building a relationship with the herd, or maybe one specific horse that you feel drawn to.  These activities may be grooming, or sometimes more nourishing activities such as feeding, which will help us to reflect how we nourish and care for ourselves. 

​

My clients come to feel more connected with themselves and those around them, as well as having techniques to help cope with challenging situations. I always aim to help others feel able to move forward in life with acceptance and understanding for themselves.
