Welcome to Insights Counselling & Training. This is the one lots of you have been waiting for!

Join me to experience the absolutely amazing, calming, regulating and therapeutic effects that beautiful horses give us. The unique bond we are so very lucky to share with them, helping to improve our mental health, sense of wellbeing, confidence and pure joy.

Each session will feature different mental health topics including:

*Anxiety & panic attacks

*Bereavement

*Brain health, gut health and the nervous system.

* Self-harm & suicidal thoughts

*Trauma

In addition to the grooming sessions, we will also be adding dates for agility sessions, completing tasks around an obstacle course which are great for increasing confidence and experiencing a deep connection, bond and relationship with the horses.

 What to expect from the session

We are starting with Mental Health Awareness & Wellbeing small group sessions with time grooming a horse.

We will be exploring the essential foundations we all need to achieve and maintain emotional stability, flexibility, nervous system regulation and positive mental health. Very often these are not firmly in place for many reasons which can cause distress and elevated psychological pain when anything else is added. The extra weight doesn’t need to be extreme for foundations to struggle and become unstable.

In small groups we will look at the daily patterns that can help reduce the likelihood of reaching crisis point and more importantly the ones that can cause harm without us realising. These small things can have a huge impact. Do the basics well and the rest will look after itself.

And now for the touch of magic…I won’t be running these groups alone. During the session we will join the herd where you will each enjoy 30 blissful minutes grooming a horse. We will guide you through the process of grooming which will give you an ideal opportunity to touch, connect, ground, relax and breathe with the horse. Learining to be truly present and in the moment. I can already see you smiling!
