Our Services

Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP) is a gentle way to help people heal and grow by connecting with horses. This special relationship creates a safe space, helping to build trust and cope with challenges in the future.  EAP is becoming well-known around the world for its effectiveness with various groups, including adults, children, teens, and specific populations like veterans and Aboriginal youth. EAP can help with issues like trauma, anxiety, depression, addiction, improving social, emotional and communication skills, boosting self-esteem and more.

EAP sessions are either outdoors or within an undercover area.  There is no horse riding involved and clients do not need to have any previous horse experience.  

At Pinecrest Farm, we want to make sure you find the right therapy for you. We offer a 15-minute enquiry call or a 45-minute meet and greet session free of charge. These are great chances for us to get to know each other and see if our therapy options are a good match for you. We can’t wait to talk with you!

Outdoor or walk and talk counselling is a type of therapy that happens outside while walking. This setting helps people feel more relaxed and comfortable sharing their thoughts and feelings. Being active and surrounded by nature can make the experience more enjoyable and help clients open up. It's a different way to talk about personal challenges while enjoying the outdoors.

Online counselling is a way to get mental health support over the internet, letting people talk to to their counsellor from home. It can happen through video calls, phone calls, or messages. This method is convenient helps people deal with different emotional and mental health issues while keeping their privacy. It's a great option for anyone looking for help but who might find it hard to go to in-person therapy.

Sessions via phone or video link are provided on the basis that:

• both client and practitioner ensure a confidential and uninterrupted space;

• will not record sessions, and

• as far as are able, will aim to have reliable connectivity.

Counselling gives you a safe place to talk about your feelings, relationships, and thoughts that may be bothering you. It’s a confidential partnership between you and the counsellor, focused on improving your mental health and understanding yourself better. In this, you are encouraged to take an active part in your journey toward feeling better.

Clinical supervision and professional development sessions help counsellors and other professionals grow in their skills. These sessions can happen in different places:

• like an indoor counselling room, where focused discussions can take place.

• In an equine setting, working with horses can lead to new insights and personal growth.

• Outdoor walk-and-talk sessions create a relaxed space for open conversations while enjoying nature.

• Online sessions offer convenience, allowing professionals to connect and learn from anywhere. Each setting makes the experience valuable and supports the development of professional skills building.
