🐎 Guest Presenter: Kody Leigh Brown: Exploring the Heart of Equine Assisted Psychotherapy
What really happens when humans and horses work together therapeutically?� How do horses help regulate emotions, strengthen connection, and support healing in ways talk-based therapy sometimes cannot?
We are delighted to welcome Kody Leigh Brown, counsellor, equine-assisted psychotherapist, and founder of One Arrow Minds, for a special presentation exploring the powerful connection between humans and horses in therapeutic settings.
Kody brings together strong professional qualifications with over five years of frontline mental health experience, delivering care that is evidence-based, trauma-informed, and deeply compassionate.
Qualifications include:�• Bachelor of Psychological Science�• Graduate Diploma in Counselling�• Registered Counsellor — Australian Counselling Association�• Qualified Equine-Assisted Psychotherapist�• Bachelor of Communication
Kody’s approach recognises that therapy is not one-size-fits-all. She creates safe, culturally aware, strengths-based spaces where individuals can build confidence, emotional awareness, and resilience — whether that’s in the paddock beside a horse, walking a bush trail, or through telehealth support.
Through One Arrow Minds, Kody provides:�• Nature-based “walk and talk” therapy�• Equine-assisted psychotherapy�• Psychosocial recovery coaching�• Telehealth counselling�
Support is available for individuals, teens, families and carers seeking meaningful, empowering pathways forward.
Kody will share grounded, real-world insights into how equine partnership fosters confidence, emotional safety, and personal growth.
Whether you work with horses, care about wellbeing, support young people, or simply want to learn more about this powerful approach, this is a presentation not to miss.
