What I do...

I help young people to improve their mental well-being, handle new situations, and enjoy using the space for freedom of expression. I work in structured ways, chosen to best suit the needs of the individual child, but all draw upon the horses and the environment as a catalyst for learning new skills and building confidence.

My qualification and CPD training repertoire includes:

MSc Counselling (currently studying)
BA Psychology
Postgraduate Diploma in Education Mental Health
Counselling Level 2
Teaching Assistant Diploma
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Level 1
Solution Focused Therapy Level 2
Social Pedagogy
Certificate in Understanding Autism Level 2

Child & Family Lead

I work to help the young people who visit us, supporting them with various emotional wellbeing and mental health difficulties. I have a wealth of experience working with young people, and have a specialist interest in those with Autism or other additional needs. As Child & Family Lead, I help to coordinate support for the wider family, and often liaise with schools.
