A counselling service
that meets your needs

Since 2012, I have been offering therapeutic support to children, young people, adults, and practitioners across Shropshire. I work indoors, online, and outdoors through equine assisted counselling, and I provide clinical supervision to qualified and trainee counsellors across a range of practice settings.

You don't need to know anything about horses

Equine assisted counselling combines the skill of a trained therapist with the natural sensitivity of horses. Sessions take place outdoors, working alongside the horses, not riding them. There is no experience required and nothing to prepare.

Horses are honest, present and non-judgmental. They respond to how you are feeling in the moment, not how you think you should be feeling. For many people, this creates a kind of connection that is difficult to find in a traditional therapy room and makes it easier to open up.

Sessions are calm, unhurried and led entirely by you, with me guiding and supporting at every step.

See how it works

It starts with a conversation

There is nothing to prepare. Just get in touch and I will take it from there.

01

Get in touch

Send a message or call. No commitment, no pressure — just a chance to ask questions and see if it feels right.

02

Initial conversation

I will have a short conversation to understand what you are looking for and answer any questions you have.

03

Your first session

When you are ready, your first session is a chance to meet properly and decide together how to move forward.

There's no rush

Getting in touch doesn't mean committing to anything. Just send a message and I will come back to you within one working day.
