  • Our approach

    Painted Pony Psychotherapy combines traditional psychological therapy with equine assisted counselling, following the EAGALA (Equine Assisted Growth and Learning) model. Sessions take place in a safe and unique outdoor environment in the Adelaide Hills, where horses work alongside you without judgment or expectations. The approach is client-centred, meaning your experiences drive the direction of therapy and the changes you want to make. Horses play a vital role in helping you process emotions and explore what might be blocking your healing, while developing important life skills in the process.
