Equine Assisted Therapy
The transformative power of the human-animal bond.
An unconditional and transformative healing experience that goes beyond traditional talk therapy
Horses are intuitive, gentle and generous animals that also hold great strength and power. Their authenticity, sensitivity and ability to hold a non-judgemental space makes them ideal partners in the therapeutic process. Here at Equine Assisted Therapy Newcastle, we have created a safe and nurturing environment where our clients and horses can come together for this unique work.
Our innovative approach combines the wisdom and intuitive nature of horses, with evidence-based therapeutic techniques, providing a profound and effective method for personal growth, emotional healing, and self-discovery.
Embark on a Journey of
Self-Discovery
Equine Assisted Therapy Newcastle offers a truly unique and experiential approach to healing and personal growth. Unlike traditional talk therapy, which relies primarily on verbal exchange, equine-assisted therapy taps into the power of direct experience and unspoken interaction with horses. The experiential nature of the therapy allows clients to engage their senses, emotions, and intuition, leading to profound insights and transformative breakthroughs.

Some Benefits of
Equine-Assisted Therapy
Empowerment and Boundary Setting:
Working with horses requires clear communication and the establishment of personal boundaries. Through the therapeutic process, clients learn to assert themselves, set boundaries, and develop healthier relationships, both with the horses and in their personal lives.
Emotional Regulation and Stress Reduction:
The rhythmic and soothing movements of horses have a naturally calming effect on the nervous system. Engaging with horses can help reduce anxiety, manage stress, and improve overall emotional well-being.
Non-judgmental Presence:
Horses are highly attuned to human emotions and provide an accepting and non-judgmental space for clients to explore their thoughts and feelings. This unconditional acceptance fosters a sense of safety and trust that supports emotional healing.
Reflection and Self-Awareness:
Interacting with horses allows individuals to gain a deeper understanding of their own emotions and behaviours. Horses are masters of reading non-verbal cues, providing immediate feedback that helps clients recognise and explore their own patterns and reactions.
