Equine Assisted Therapy & EMDR
A unique nature-based alternative to traditional room-based therapy
Connection, healing and growth
Combining the proven, rapid benefits of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) with Equine-assisted therapy harnesses the innate comfort and trust found in the bond between humans and horses, in a safe and trusting environment, where individuals can find comfort as they engage in a structured therapy that helps alleviate distressing memories and foster healing.
Horses have been companions to humans for centuries, serving as loyal friends and trusted partners. What many people don't realize is that horses also possess a unique ability to heal and guide us on our journey towards connection and wholeness. At Equine Assisted Therapy Newcastle, we hold space for you to experience the innate healing power of these magnificent creatures, and their capacity to connect on a deep emotional level.
