At Whole Hearts Counselling and Equine Assisted Therapy we are passionate about taking each individual along a journey of healing. We believe in a pursuit of living whole lives, even when external circumstances make that difficult.
Equine Assisted Therapy
Horses are viewed as teachers, through modelling being free from inner-critics and connected to the simplicity and power of living their authentic selves. Horses additionally provide a live relationship of emotional safety, where clients can step into the work of exploring, experimenting and integrating new ways of being and behaving in relationships.
Equine therapy offers a diverse, creative and safe therapeutic experience where with the support of a mental health professional clients can build awareness of themselves and awareness of patterns and habits that no-longer serve them well. The sensory, somatic and relational resources available in this therapeutic space provides a rich environment to assist clients through their courageous journey of personal healing.
Counselling
Professional counselling is a confidential and therapeutic collaboration between a qualified counsellor and client/s. Counselling aims to identify, address and resolve personal problems in a positive way. Additionally, it aims to enhance self-awareness and understanding of yourself and others, and promote mental health and wellbeing. Clients are active participants in the counselling process at every stage. Through clients and counsellors together exploring information and options, developing strategies, and clarifying any emotional concerns that may interfere with critical decisions. Clients can experience more peace of mind, feel supported, understood, achieve their goals and experience higher quality relationships.
Daring Greatly means the courage to be vulnerable
it means to show up and be seen
to ask for what you need
to talk about how you’re feeling
to have the hard conversations
