Emma is fully qualified to carry out psychological assessments, providing a bespoke program for each individual.

Trauma in Teenagers and Children
Since the pandemic, many young people have suffered social anxiety or have found it difficult to return to school.
Emma works with teens and young adults from all walks of life, helping them move forwards by fostering confidence.
Working with horses can help teens and children open up and find a new way to express themselves when talking feels difficult.
Emma is fully DBS checked and insured.
Equine Assisted Learning for Personal Development
If you are making your way through significant life changes, such as a new career, personal goals, or improving relationships; horses can teach this.
Emma's skills in horsemanship allow individuals to gain confidence to find clarity in finding their own identity as well as problem-solving skills and boundary setting.
Group Workshops
We have a number of group workshops on rotation throughout the year. Including but not limited to mindfulness with horses, wellbeing and divorce/separation retreats.
Working with a group of like-minded individuals is great fun. Enjoy time in nature and with the horses and have a lovely lunch together. Emma can tailor group workshops to suit your needs from friendship groups to corporate team building events.
