Under The Willow Tree Gippsland

Under The Willow Tree Gippsland At Under The Willow Tree Gippsland, we offer a range of Counselling, Equine/Animal Assisted Therapy and Learning as well as Life Coaching services.

These services are designed to help clients overcome personal challenges and achieve their goals. We offer one-on-one Counselling and Coaching sessions, via Phone and Zoom consultations, as well as in person (walk and talk or Nature based counselling sessions at my property near the beautiful Cowwarr Weir), to ensure that our clients can receive support whenever and wherever they need it. From Complex Traumas to Anxiety Disorders and everything in between such as Life After DV Support and support for Neurodivergent clients. Counsellor and Equine Therapist Caitlin has endeavored to create a peaceful, safe and nurturing environment where individuals, and families can seek guidance and support on their journeys towards personal growth and continual development of their strengths and worth. At Under The Willow Tree Gippsland we also offer Equine/Animal Assisted Therapy Sessions. Which has been hugely popular amongst all demographics. These sessions are individually designed to help the client to connect with animals in a meaningful way, promoting emotional healing and personal growth. Clients can develop trust, build confidence, and gain insight into their own behaviors and emotions. Owner Counsellor and Equine Therapist Caitlin has always had a passion for helping people. Caitlin is a married mother of 3 (12,11 and 1), and like most unfortunately in today's society, she too has been faced with some traumatic life events over her life. Which in turn has helped shape her incredible passion and understanding for working with people on a deeper level. Caitlin has found out not only for herself over the years just how therapeutic the equine/human relationship can be but the incredible benefits it has for her clients. It only fuels her aspirations in being able to provide such an amazing therapeutic experience. Caitlin started her younger self off in the field of Criminal Justice and decided as time went on she wanted to do something more direct within the therapeutic space to help guide people through all periods of their lives. Caitlin studied her Diploma of Counselling at the Australian Collage of Applied Psychology and gained her qualification back in 2015. Caitlin is also ACA accredited. Caitlin is also currently enrolled in her bachelor's with ACAP to enhance her skill set, so she can truly offer the best to her clients. Caitlin has of course over the years gained much more life experience and personal development to assist her professional role, as well as having gone on to continue to build her skill set and explore new Therapies such as studying her Practitioners Training at the Equine Assisted Wellbeing Institute. Caitlin, has also over the years facilitated DV Support/ Mental Health Groups, worked closely with youths and worked as an independent Support Worker for many different Clients is which she has always found very rewarding. She has also had many years working in the Equine world, as well as in the Agricultural world in which she went on to obtained her cert 3 in Agriculture as a part of that. Caitlin has always had a very big love and passion for animals and people. And she very much loves that she can combine her skill set to assist her clients through her love of animals.

Scones you say..?

Yes please!!

But what on earth does scones and therapy have in common you ask?

I am so incredibly passionate about what I do and how I deliver my therapeutic support to all of our visitors.
Because I truely believe everyone is different in the best ways! and that you all deserve your therapeutic support journey to be 100% about you in a way that makes you feel truely supported.

And if that means engaging in safe calming activities whilst we are in a counselling session, or in an equine therapy session, that help engage an individual allowing a more free flowing relaxed therapeutic experince, as well as assisting with skill develop, and aiding with calming the nervous system you bet ya well give it a whirl.

So that right there is how scones and therapy combined in this instance.

🌿 A small Re-introduction for the new people 🌿

Hey everyone, I’m Caitlin Crichton, the owner, counsellor, and equine therapy practitioner behind Under the Willow Tree Gippsland.

And whilst we're here why not say hello to my husband, Dane, together we have three beautiful children.

Let me reassure you though I’m not your stereotypical counsellor, I’m down-to-earth, approachable, and offer a safe space free from judgement. And I get life! Sometimes it amazing and sometimes its just bloody horrible. But I believe healing happens best when you feel truly seen, heard, and supported. 💚
And if that means sitting on some bean bags out in a paddock let's go! Because I truely want to sit there and hear your story, and walk along side you no matter the day.

I absolutely love what I do and i feel so grateful to combine my passion for helping others (children, youth and adults) with my incredible fellow co workers (my ponies 😊) or without of course.

Under the Willow Tree Gippsland is built on compassion, honesty, and genuine connection, a genuine place where individuals and families can heal, grow, and rediscover their strength.

Thank you to everyone who’s been part of this journey so far, and welcome to those just joining or thinking about starting their journey 🌷

Let's sit underneath the Willows 🌿 I'd love to hear your story

For all those horse lovers out there!
NB: this post does not imply that the smell of a horse would replace aromatherapy.
