Together we can explore the things in your life that are holding you back. Sometimes we just feel stuck. We lose our peace, we may feel lost and misunderstood.

We use a team approach that combines the expertise of a professional registered counsellor, a specialist horse trainer and our carefully trained horses, to provide an emotionally and physically safe experience for our clients. Horses are integral to this type of therapy as they have unique abilities to read and respond to our emotional states, non-verbal signals, and cues. Hence, facilitating within us, self-awareness and a deep personal connection.
​
Our shared philosophy is that all humans deserve to live a holistic, authentic life with optimal mental health.
EAT is a valuable therapy to offer clients, in conjunction with mainstream therapy and health care. We welcome referrals from mental health practitioners, paediatricians, general practioners, and caseworkers.

Circle of Security Parenting (COSP)
​
Circle of Security Parenting (COSP) is an evidence-based early childhood attachment program designed for parents and caregivers of children from four months of age through to six years old.
However, parents and primary caregivers with older children do benefit from this program.
Human beings are hardwired for connection. However if we did not have a secure emotional attachment with our own parents or caregivers, for whatever reason, we can find it difficult to connect emotionally with our own child. Our lived experience in the past will influence the way we parent in the future.
The purpose of this program is for parents and caregivers to develop an emotional and nurturing connection with their child by learning how to be emotionally available.
Children who are given the opportunity to develop a secure attach with their parents or primary caregivers are able to regulate their emotions and behavior, they are able to form healthy, safe relationships with others, they develop resilience and experience overall mental and emotional wellbeing.
As a qualified COSP facilitator I offer individual, couples or group sessions delivered in a safe, non-judgmental, supportive environment.
Please contact me for further information.
