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.

Hey to those that are new here — trust me, this isn’t what I look like on a day-to-day basis 😂
I’m Caitlin 🤍
Counsellor and Equine Therapy Practitioner at Under the Willow Tree Gippsland 🌿🐴
I spend my days supporting people through life’s ups and downs, creating a calm, safe space to heal, grow and reconnect — often with a horse by our side. There’s something pretty special about the way they help us slow down and feel seen.
So whether you’re here for the horses, the therapy journey, or just following along — welcome, I’m so glad you’re here ✨

There’s something so special about the quiet moments.
Lying beside Bertie, slow breaths, soft pats, and complete trust.
Connection like this can’t be rushed — it’s built on safety, calm, and feeling truly seen.
Such a beautiful reminder of how powerful simple presence can be 🤍🐴

03/02/2026

Even though I don’t usually share photos of clients for privacy reasons, today a beautiful visitor asked me to take some photos of her and Bertie — and they were just too special not to share.

With her full consent, and to protect her privacy a little further, I’ve blurred her face… but you can still feel the smile underneath while she soaked up those Bertie cuddles 🌷❤️

Such a precious moment of connection, calm, and nervous system regulation.
Sometimes the quietest cuddles say the most.

So much work goes on behind the scenes to maintain registrations — countless hours of paid supervision, ongoing professional development, and juggling everything outside of sessions. On top of that, I’m at uni upgrading my degree (on track to be finished this year!) 😊
It’s a lot, but it’s worth it.
I’m really proud to share that I am now a Level 2 Counsellor, and I’m super proud to have opportunities to develop my skills more deeply so my clients can receive the very best support.
