HEAL Psychology

HEAL Psychology HEAL Psychology helps people learn, grow and heal with horses using Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP). Visit us at www.healpsychology.com

HEAL Psychology uses horses for treatment of mental health issues, emotional growth, and learning through the EAGALA model of Equine Assisted Psychotherapy in the greater Sydney and Illawarra areas. Sessions involve a collaborative effort between a psychologist and an equine specialist working with clients and horses to address treatment and/or learning goals. The focus of the organisation is to help people focus on goals and future oriented issues, and to develop life skills and confidence through working with the horses.

Learn, Grow, and Heal with Horses

HEAL Psychology is a place where ​humans and horses work together to improve quality of life and mental health. Surrounded by natural rainforest and coastal views of Wombarra and the lush green hills of Kiama, our team of professionals and gentle rescue horses help people address treatment and learning goals so they may learn, grow, and heal their lives.

We provide 50-90 minute psychology sessions partly rebated through medicare for children, youth, adults, service men and women, and school groups. Sessions involve ground based activities with the horses (no riding as there is a focus on human skills rather than horse skills) using a form of therapy called Equine Assisted Therapy combined with traditional psychology treatments.

Our rescue horses are fully present and highly sensitive, relying on their senses for survival. They react to non verbal communication and act without agenda or judgement. They mirror human body language and give immediate feedback on how clients are communicating, providing metaphors for our clients lives. Working with the horses results in a decrease in depression, stress, anxiety, and an increase in wellbeing, confidence, self esteem, and improved relationships.
