Art Therapy
With the guidance of a trained therapist, patients can learn through creative expression to regulate their emotional instincts and responses, creating opportunities for confidence and self-control.
Here during 1:1 therapy sessions art and craft activities are implemented into each session in a way that is either therapist led or child led. Principals of exploration, relaxation and expression coincide along the therapists use of art and crafts to provide therapeutic experiences and teaching to suit the clients needs.

Equine Therapy
Equine Therapy is fast becoming a sought after tool for treating a range of needs. This is one of our programs that is a little bit different than the standard model of clinical therapy.
If you are stressed, anxious, nervous or have been through a terrible incident, we know it’s not easy to trust and talk to a someone new straight away.
Engaging with animals safely and closely, like with our horses, is always a great way to relax, engage and connect. You might not realise but by doing just that, you will start to unlock benefits of therapy.
Our equine therapy program has been developed by a team of psychologist and counsellors and runs as weekend workshops individually or as a 6-week group program.
