About us

Big Brown Horse

We are a therapy service with a difference..

Trained to PhD level in Clinical Psychology and integrating a range of Equine Assisted Psychotherapy approaches means we are in the unique position to offer the best of both worlds.....

Evidence based psychological therapy....enhanced by a horse!

Equine therapy and learning is used extensively worldwide, but is relatively new to the UK. Interacting with horses captivates and holds attention. This allows faster therapeutic progress.

What we provide…

• Equine Enhanced Therapy and development services

• Traditional office based counselling and psychotherapy

• A corporate leadership and staff development service to businesses and organisations

We are different from other equine therapy providers. Here are the reasons why….

• We are an HCPC registered, Chartered Clinical Psychology and Counseling Service

• We integrate a range of evidence based therapies creating a service that is uniquely tailored to each client

• Horses can make therapy less threatening and more effective than talking based therapy alone

• We provide assessment prior to any therapy to allow us to decide which approach is most appropriate

• We can provide our range of services at various locations throughout Scotland

Why these unique features are important….

• You are reassured that we provide professionally regulated interventions

• Our therapy approaches have a scientific evidence base

• Clients can mix office based and Equine Enhanced sessions according to clinical need

• Clients learn faster by doing as well as talking

• Our service is more accessible as we can travel to you

We do NOT offer…

• Spiritual healing or any non scientifically evidenced based therapy approaches

• Horse riding

• Horse whispering or any psychic activities

• A single therapy model or approach focusing exclusively on horses
