In Equine Facilitated Psychotherapy (EFP) we work with our horses to gain insight in how we perceive, behave and interact with the world around us. Horses don’t judge. They care about your presence, your intentions and your ability to be and connect with them.
The power of working with horses is that not everything has to be discussed verbally, learning takes place, not through talking but through gaining an experience, processing thoughts and emotions through interaction, engagement and being with the horses.
We provide a professional service where people enhance their self-awareness, confidence, emotional well-being and acquire new skills. Equine Assisted therapy is great for improving communication skills, social skills, assertiveness, creative thinking, problem solving, relationship building, attitude changes and we believe EFP is highly effective to those experiencing mental health challenges, often where traditional therapies have not worked.
