Train & Develop
If you're working with other humans - or both horses and humans - in any capacity, having access to high quality supervision and training is likely to be a vital part of your professional development.
At Hope Meadows, our senior team members offer spaces for reflection, learning and growth. All our work is informed by psychological theory and research, but is hands-on and experiential at its core, to make the most of our unique setting
and equine partners.
We offer long-term placements in our Equine Assisted Psychotherapy service for trainee counsellors, psychotherapists, and psychologists. These are usually for those who are studying at postgraduate level.
We also offer short-term placements in our Alternative Provision for university students studying psychology or education looking to get real-world experience of therapeutic settings.
Let us help you to help others. We're passionate about growing the field of equine assisted practice and that means investing in training the people who deliver it. We aim to offer training for those taking their first steps into equine assisted work through to those deepening an existing practice. Our training has equine welfare and relational theory at the heart, and draws on our lived experience of working in this industry.
Supervision and reflective spaces are an invaluable resource if you're holding complex dynamics, whether that's clinically, in a classroom, or in equine assisted services more widely. We have a range of professionals who can offer you space to process, learn, and develop your practice.
