I am offering psychotherapy using horses in partnership with my colleague Martha Lindsell (BHSAI). If you like the idea of a psychotherapy which takes place outdoors and includes spending time with horses, then please get in touch. We offer a free initial meeting of 30 minutes to meet us and the horses. In this way you will get a feel for how we work. You do not need any experience of horses and there is no riding. Sessions are usually fortnightly and last 90 minutes (and not the more usual 50 minutes). For a fuller picture please go to our website www.psychotherapywithhorses.co.uk

We can all have intense feelings that we find difficult to control. Falling into the same old patterns, getting angry, ashamed or stressed instead. Emotions can cause relationship problems leaving us feeling misunderstood, anxious or depressed. This can be a lonely & isolating place where we may feel stuck. Whether it be relationships with family, friends, neighbours - they can be stressful to deal with, especially when trying to work out acceptable boundaries, forgive or trying to repair damaged relationships. I help get to know the nervous system and build better bonds (I am the creator of the Polyvagal Teen resources).
