Equine Assisted Therapy at Sunnyridge Equestrian
Working with anxiety, depression and grief in academic and corporate settings
Hi, I'm Meg!
Growing up with horses and competing in the discipline of English Show jumping, it was a natural lead into my career as a Counsellor and Coach. My focus on growth mindset training and development began when I saw a need for the use of positive language to accomplish goals in the sport and academic settings, professionally and in my personal life.
Focusing on counselling clients who are neuro-diverse is very rewarding. Using equine assisted therapy, alongside other counselling approaches, I get to help clients gather an understanding of where they are at and strategies to get where they want to be.

Working with children, adolescents and adults in the past, I have experience in assisting depression, anxiety, trauma, addictions, self-esteem, grief, anger, and relationships.
I work with DBT, ACT, CBT, and narrative therapy. It brings great satisfaction to provide psycho-education to individuals when applicable, allowing them to understand their selves further. When we are aware of our bodies, behaviours, and emotions it helps us understand our situations and why we respond the way we do.

Anxiety Counsellors
What are the most common treatments for anxiety?
Talk therapy, particularly cognitive behavioural therapy, is the most common treatment for anxiety. Studies have shown it is equally effective as medication. Other forms of therapy are popular, depending on a patient’s experience. Exposure therapy, for instance, can be useful for people dealing with fears and phobias, or who have experienced traumatic events. Dialectical Behavioural Therapy may be useful for patients who need help with emotion regulation. Anxiolytic medications, like benzodiazepines, can also help with calming a person enough to focus on the skills they’ve learned, and physical exercise has been shown to help symptoms of anxiety across the board.
How long does therapy for anxiety take to work?
The amount of time needed to alleviate symptoms depends on the severity of a person’s condition. Some therapies may take 5-20 weekly sessions to show results. Anti-depressant medications typically take two to four weeks before a benefit is felt. Anti-anxiety medications are felt typically within 20-30 minutes. Medications are best used to offer a patient a better headspace in which to work on techniques learned in therapy. Exercise, improved sleep habits, and meditation are effective, but takes weeks or months to show results.
When should I seek treatment for anxiety?
Everyone feels anxious at times, but when anxiety causes disruption to your daily life, it may be time to seek help. Such disruption can be mental, physical, or both: having fear dominate your thoughts, avoiding situations or objects that bring on feelings of anxiety, or experiencing shortness of breath, sweating, dizziness, or panic attacks. When these symptoms are recurrent and distressing, it may be time to talk to someone.
How effective is treatment for anxiety?
Treatment for anxiety has been shown to be moderately to highly effective, according to a large body of psychology studies and analyses. For some people, treatment using CBT or exposure therapy alone is effective. Others respond best to a combination of medication and therapy.
