ADULT PRIVATE ONE:ONE SESSIONS

We offer privately funded one-to-one sessions of equine therapy,

Body Psychotherapy or a combination of these. You can find out more about each approach by clicking on each one. These sessions are facilitated by Hannah at our site in Tockwith (online sessions of Body Psychotherapy are also available on request.)  The sessions offer an alternative to traditional talking therapies and are a truly embodied experience. Both approaches are integrative and relational and based on the principle that our emotional, mental and physical processes are always connected.  

Throughout the sessions there is the opportunity for people to look at how they relate to themselves, their environment and other people. This process can facilitate a deeper understanding of past and present feelings or circumstances and an awareness of how these may be impacting life now. Our bodies hold our life stories, therefore including the body in psychotherapy supports people in connecting to themselves and others.  The process of tuning into our body helps us to be more present and in the here and now and most sessions will include an element of this. For some people, being outdoors and with the horses helps to facilitate this, as the herd invite us to be in the moment with them. Being with the horses can be a gentle introduction to therapeutic support because there is no pressure to tell your story and it can also offer a rich environment for self-exploration and healing.  

​

Whichever route is chosen, the flow of the sessions and what happens within them will be a collaborative process between client and therapist.  It will depend on what comes up through the work and what feels safe at any given moment. Trust and safety are key to this work as is the belief that ‘expertise’ and ‘wisdom’ lie within the client. 

The support is tailored to each individual and so if this is of interest, please contact Hannah for further discussion
