With broken hearts, Sally, Tilly, Luna, Karni, Buddy, Kayce and I said goodbye to our oldest and wisest member of our herd - George - on Wednesday. At the ripe old age of 40, George has given his heart, soul, and love to whoever needed it. He will be missed immensely. 💔

Studies have found a bi-directional correlation between teenage poor mental health and va**ng- depression causes va**ng and va**ng causes depression.
It’s time to teach our teens how precious and vulnerable their adolescent brains are.

A survey of more than 5,000 year 7 and 8 students across three states found teenagers who v**e were more likely to have poor mental health.

It is with a broken heart that I say goodbye to my ‘best friend’, ‘colleague’ and ‘family member’ tonight. Alice died suddenly tonight due to snake bite. She will be greatly missed at home and in the office. 💔

Our Story

Janine is a registered psychologist who works in private-practice at Gentle Rein Therapies, specialising in Equine Facilitated Neuropsychotherapy. Her study of neuropsychotherapy has inspired her to integrate psychotherapy, neuroscience and experiential equine facilitated psychotherapy.

In addition to a traditional approach to psychotherapy within an office environment, Janine incorporates the principles of neuroscience, cognitive behavioural therapy and experiential therapy. Janine offers Equine Facilitated Neuropsychotherapy in an outdoor setting with her horses and ponies facilitating sessions. Equine Facilitated Neuropsychotherapy & Equine Facilitated Learning (EFN & EFL) are experiential forms of therapy that include horses and ponies as co-facilitators. EFN utilises Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) and Skills Training in an Experiential Therapy context. The horses and ponies at Gentle Rein Therapies offer a powerful way of creating positive change. Rather than working with words only, clients are able to experience behavioural and cognitive solutions, which can be applied outside of the therapy setting.
