Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (Age 3 - Adult)

The equine assisted psychotherapy (EAP) is a client focus and driven practice, where the client's subjective experience increases their own awareness and supports change in the here and now timeframe. It integrates trauma-informed practice, working with resourcing in the outer environment, regulating and soothing the nervous system, reprocessing trauma and renegotiating old behavioural patterns and feelings, exploring new types of relationship's and attachements.
