Question 1

What can I expect from a session?

Accepted Answer

Your session will be facilitated by a qualified counsellor who specialises in equine assisted mental health. At all times during the session you can expect to feel safe and supported. Sessions will take place outside in the fresh air, and one or more horses will participate in the session. The horses are specially trained and audited as calm, safe horses.

Question 2

Who benefits from this type of therapy?

Accepted Answer

Everyone can benefit from this type of therapy. It is especially valuable for those who have struggled with talk therapy, sometimes for years with no improvement in mental health. An important facet of the therapy is how you respond when you are in the presence of a horse.

Question 3

Why work with horses?

Accepted Answer

Horses are experts at reading body language and perceiving human emotions and, therefore, respond to each of us as unique individuals. This special relationship provides an opportune setting for people to learn more about themselves and their patterns in the relationships they form.

Question 4

Do I need to have experience with horses to participate in this therapy?

Accepted Answer

No, you don't need to have experience with horses to participate in this therapy. You do need to come with an open mind and be prepared to try something new. You do not have to be in the same paddock as the horses if you are not comfortable with this.

Question 5

Do I need to be good at art to do art therapy?

Accepted Answer

No, you don't have to be a good artist to do art therapy, in fact in many ways it is an advantage if you're not. Art therapy is all about the process you go through in creating the art and then exploring it with the help of the therapist to gain insight into unconscious content that informs our thoughts and behaviours.
