Animal Assisted Play Therapy®
Our therapy encompasses the whole span of ages from 8 to 88 and beyond (why should children have all the fun?) to provide a unique therapeutic approach which is playful, fun and safe. Utilising a long-established, evidence-based therapeutic intervention delivered by the co-founder of the Field of Animal Assisted Play Therapy® and a British Association of Play Therapy (BAPT) qualified therapist.
The encouragement of play and playfulness is used as the primary means of expressing feelings, developing relationships, and resolving psychosocial problems to manage trauma and improve mental health.
Outdoor Family Play Therapy
Families thrive when they work together, and no one needs to face challenges alone. Blending together the outdoors, Play, and Filial therapy (and even the family dog!)
Discover the benefits of outdoor play therapy, where the whole family can grow and connect, aiding in trauma recovery, improving communication and emotional regulation and creating clear boundaries.
Play and Filial Therapy
We specialise in supporting the whole family including but not exclusively foster and adoptive children and families, young people, and adult children who have experienced significant trauma through Play and Filial therapy. Play therapy allows participants to express their experiences in a safe and supportive space. Filial therapy brings the family into the process, using an integrative approach centred around 'special play times' to strengthen attachments
and nurture closeness.
Positive Horsemanship, and Alternative Education and Learning
Providing people with the opportunity to work in true partnership with horses, to learn ethologically research-based body language and communication, which has humane treatment of animals, equine well-being and welfare at its core.
Time spent with horses can lower stress, improve emotional regulation and lead to other transferable skills such as improved interpretation of human non-verbal language, increased confidence, and better social relationships.
To provide bespoke alternative education packages for those of us who don't fit in mainstream services but are brilliant, innovative and amazing learners in the right environment.
Eco Therapy
We provide the chance to engage in activities in a rural outdoor setting, surrounded by plants and animals, which bring significant benefits to health and wellbeing, both physical and mental.
Each activity is individually tailored to suit clients' interests, abilities, and pace. Focusing on personal and educational growth, we offer a variety of activities designed to enhance employability, social skills, and independence.
