Sometimes people experience a difficult patch in their lives and they need a safe and supportive space to talk things through. Other times it may be a more enduring difficulty where assessment, therapy, and ongoing support during recovery may be important. Every person is unique, as is their path to feeling mental well being.

Ali was tired of hearing stories from people seeking help for their mental health and failing. She saw an alternative that shifted away from a clinical setting as the key. Sitting in an office, talking about your worries and insecurities is intimidating and very difficult to do. While it takes a different kind of bravery to do this with an equine partner, the benefits are insurmountable. Heartline provides a unique opportunity for clients to connect with horses in a safe and supportive environment. Our program allows individuals to engage in experiential learning, fostering personal growth and self-discovery in real time.

At Heyday Clinic, we’re pretty simple. We like to help people and workplaces improve their wellbeing and live better lives. We believe more in skill building and getting amongst life than sitting for hours of counselling intervention. Don’t get us wrong, self reflection, feedback and counselling is GREAT, we believe it’s best coupled with trying out the new things you’ve learned and trying them out in the ‘wild’. That means that some intensive support can be helpful at the beginning, followed by ‘tune ups’ when needed.

FAQ - Therapist Gender
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or because they feel more comfortable with a therapist of their own gender due to shared life experiences or perspectives. Considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender may matter or improve their therapeutic experience. The most important consideration is that a client is able to build a trusting relationship with their therapist.

Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist. For women, this could be because they believe that they will be able to better connect with a woman, and that a female therapist will be able to relate to their specific challenges and personal issues. It may be particularly beneficial for women to see a female therapist, for example, for gender-specific issues, such as sexism in the workplace, relationship issues, and gender roles. The most important factor in therapy is the client-therapist connection, and a therapist's gender as well as many other factors may play an important role in this.

Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.

How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
