Equine Assisted Counselling

Clients are able to find connection and awareness with the horses through tailored activities designed around their therapeutic goals.
In-office Counselling
Individual counselling sessions which take place in a comfortable counselling room in the heart of Newlands.
Areas of special interest include: stress, anxiety, chronic pain/illness and emotional regulation.
Clients can enjoy the convenience and privacy of a dedicated therapeutic space.
TRE®
TRE® (Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises) is a body-based practice designed to support the nervous system in releasing excess stress and tension.
TRE® does not require talking about past experiences or trauma. Instead, it works directly with the body and nervous system in a gradual and safe way.
About Me
I provide a warm, down to earth and compassionate space for clients to engage with the difficulties and joys of life, and have a passion for innovative approaches to mental health.
Driven by a desire to offer meaningful and transformative mental health services, I pursued additional postgraduate training with the Equine Assisted Psychotherapy Institute of South Africa (EAPISA), to incorporate Equine Assisted Counselling into my practice. I have since completed further certifications, adding TRE® (Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises) to include a body-based component to my service offerings. I have also completed internationally recognised trainings in ACT For Chronic Pain, Pain Reprocessing Therapy and EAET for Chronic Pain.
I offer counselling and TRE® at my private practice in Newlands, Cape Town. Equine assisted counselling is offered at various venues in the Southern Suburbs of Cape Town.
My Therapeutic Approach
Find the Practice
My approach to counselling is integrative, drawing from evidence-based therapies including ACT, EAET, Pain Reprocessing Therapy and body-based somatic work. I combine holistic counselling methods with practical tools and skills to empower clients to navigate life’s challenges with resilience and self-awareness. This ensures a supportive, collaborative, and personalized therapeutic experience tailored to each person’s needs.
My holistic approach provides a unique therapeutic experience, combining my counselling expertise with the optional additions of:
