Equine Facilitated Therapy
The Natural Approach to Equine Therapy works with horses as part of a holistic treatment using a counselling approach. Our non-profit sister charity ‘The Friends of The Natural Approach’ facilitates and allows people to participate in Equine Therapy. Where through Horsemanship and Equine Assisted counselling they will learn how to regulate their emotions, deal with past traumas and develop self worth and inner confidence. By becoming more assertive or calmer and discovering the real individual within will help address the challenges that life presents. Our on hand therapists will cater for humans and horses to aid their physical and mental wellbeing.
We have a team which consists of Counsellors, Life Coaches, Healers, Horsemanship Instructors, Animal Communication Experts and not forgetting our wonderful group of horses and ponies.
Equine Therapy helps individuals who are struggling with mental health issues, learning difficulties and/or disabilities. Many activities such as horse care, maintenance, grooming procedures and saddlery target these areas.
Physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech and language therapy strive to assist the individual with many of the same goals as equine therapy. However physical therapy focuses more on gross motor movement and ability. Occupational therapy focuses on fine motor ability and speech language therapy focuses on the psychological systems associated with speech and language. Equine therapy is able to combine a combination of these three therapies without giving the individual a feeling that they are in therapy.
Therapists who engage in Equine Assisted therapies all easily adapt cognitive therapy as well as well as play and talk therapy. Depending on the disorder and its severity the equine therapist is able to make decisions about the processes or techniques applied in the sessions. The main techniques that are used are cognitive therapy practicing activities, activity scheduling, play therapy, story-telling and talk therapy.
An equine experience for Adults, Children, Schools and organizations wishing to improve an individual’s confidence and release past hurts or traumas in order to enhance the personal development and quality of life for an individual. Equine Therapy helps individuals physically and mentally suffering with abuse ADHD, Anxiety, Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Dementia, Depression, Developmental delay, Traumatic brain injuries, Behavioral issues, Drug and Alcohol addictions, Eating Disorders, PTSD, Self Confidence amongst many other Mental and Physical health issues.
