Equine Facilitated Psychotherapy
Equine Facilitated Psychotherapy therapeutic approach that leverages the unique relationship between horses and clients to promote emotional healing and personal transformation. By engaging with horses, clients are able to access deep body awareness, process stored trauma, and cultivate emotional clarity. The horses’ attunement to energy and emotions provides a powerful, non-verbal space for somatic exploration, fostering healing, self-awareness, and lasting change.
For over 10 years, I’ve had the privilege of partnering with horses to offer transformative, trauma-informed healing. As the founder of Small Strides CIC, Bristol’s leading Trauma-Informed Equine Facilitated Learning Centre, I have expanded my work to create a private practice specializing in Equine Facilitated Psychotherapy. This new venture allows me to offer a more focused approach to Trauma Therapy through my bespoke equine trauma therapy program and individual Equine Therapy sessions.
Embodied Hooves: Somatic Healing with Horses is a transformative, bespoke program designed to guide you towards creating deeper, more authentic connections; both with yourself and others. Through the lens of neuroscience, we explore how the brain builds and reshapes relationships, empowering you to break free from old patterns and foster lasting, positive change.


This holistic approach weaves together Somatic Experiencing and Equine Facilitated Psychotherapy, creating a space where trauma stored in the body can be processed, released, and healed.
By partnering with horses, who are deeply attuned to energy and emotions, you’ll tap into profound self-awareness, emotional clarity, and transformative breakthroughs.
The horses act as non-verbal, grounding companions in your healing journey, helping you uncover and release outdated emotional patterns and limiting belief’s. Their intuitive presence fosters a space for deep transformation, personal growth, and the ultimate liberation of emotional freedom.
