Personal Growth and Healing through Horses and Nature
Equine Facilitated Learning and Psychotherapy enables people to learn about themselves through their interactions with horses. It has been demonstrated to help people struggling with anxiety, depression, and lack of self-confidence, low self-esteem, boundary issues and behavioural problems.
Emma has in-depth experience of working with young people coping with difficulties in regulating their emotions, behavioural problems, self-harming and the effects of bullying. She has worked with adults suffering from anxiety and depression and long-term mental health issues caused by childhood sexual abuse and trauma. She has worked with groups of all ages and has particular experience in developing group activities for young asylum seekers and refugees.
