North Coasts Tamaki Makaurau Psychology

Equine therapy by ACC and North coasts psychology. Run by an equine behaviourist and a councellor over a 2 hour a week for 7 weeks period. This is a group so there can be up to 8 people per course.

Each session clients will learn about and explore a topic, with the horses. In each of these topics there is development off skills and awareness that allow clients to realise they have choices to deal with situations, themselves, and others differently.

We support clients to be with the horses and each other as horses do! So, there will be some new learnings about ' the way of the horse' for them to get curious about and learn how this knowledge can help us in our lives. Clients will experience observations, interactions, tasks,  and play.
