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.

“You can’t tell a child to calm down… if no one’s ever taught them how.”

At Under the Willow Tree Gippsland, we don’t expect children to “just cope” or “behave better.”
We teach the skills behind calm.
Through gentle, non-clinical counselling, nature-based experiences, and therapeutic activities, children learn:

🌿 How to recognise what their body is feeling
🌿 Ways to regulate big emotions safely
🌿 Tools to calm their nervous system — not suppress it
🌿 How to communicate needs instead of acting them out

Using outdoor spaces, animals, movement, and connection, we create an environment where children feel safe, seen, and supported. Regulation is learned through experience — not punishment.

We also support parents and caregivers, helping them understand what’s happening beneath the behaviour and how to respond with confidence, calm, and connection at home.
Because calm isn’t something a child is told to do —
it’s something they are taught, modelled, and supported to learn.

🌳 Under the Willow Tree Gippsland
Helping children (and families) grow strong, regulated, and connected.

Under the Willow Tree Gippsland offers a safe, calm, and supportive space for individuals, children, and families to reconnect with themselves through counselling and equine-assisted therapy.

Set on a peaceful rural property in Gippsland, our sessions move away from the traditional clinical room and into nature — where healing can feel more natural, gentle, and real. Whether you’re sitting under the trees, walking the paddocks, or working alongside our horses, each session is guided at your pace and tailored to your needs.

🌿 Counselling Sessions
Our counselling services support emotional wellbeing, personal growth, and life challenges such as stress, anxiety, trauma, burnout, grief, and relationship difficulties. Sessions are grounded, practical, and compassionate — creating space to feel heard, understood, and supported without judgement.

🐎 Equine-Assisted Therapy
Equine therapy offers a unique, powerful way to explore emotions, boundaries, confidence, and connection. You don’t need riding experience — sessions take place on the ground, with horses acting as intuitive partners who respond honestly to human emotion. This can be especially beneficial for children, adolescents, and individuals who find talking difficult.
At Under the Willow Tree, we believe healing doesn’t need to be rushed or forced. It happens when people feel safe, supported, and connected — to themselves, to others, and to the natural world around them.

📍 Gippsland, VIC
🌏 Telehealth options available Australia-wide, for private and NDIS individuals.
🤍 Sessions available for children, adolescents, and adults.

If you’re feeling called to slow down, reconnect, and begin (or continue) your healing journey, you’re warmly invited to come and spend time with us under the willow tree.
