Equine Psychotherapy

Equine psychotherapy is a type of therapy, also known as horse therapy that involves the client interacting with horses and ponies. Designed for people of any age, equine therapy had been shown to treat a variety of mental health issues, addressing both the body and mind. Horses are incorporated into sessions for a range of issues including depression, trauma, anxiety, autism, grief and loss.

Equine therapy is conducted by Stephanie Haley alongside horse trainer Karen White at Mohegan Training Centre in Henley Brook which is close to my clinic. It is a wonderful way to heal in a country, open air environment. No horse experience is necessary, and we take the 90 minute sessions at your pace, with lots of safe, caring guidance from us.

About Me

My name is Stephanie Haley and I am a Clinical Psychologist with extensive experience working with people from a variety of backgrounds and cultures. I earned my Bachelor of Psychology at Murdoch University in WA, and a Master of Clinical Psychology at Curtin University of Technology in WA, which added to my strong commitment to improving all areas on mental health. I work with clients who are experiencing problems with mood and anxiety disorders, phobias, obsessive compulsive disorder, addictions, self-esteem and relationship issues. I have a special interest in bipolar disorder, trauma, emotion regulation, and personality. I have worked extensively in the public and private sectors, and I regularly participate in professional workshops and seminars to enhance my professional skills. I draw from a range of evidenced-based psychological theories including cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, psychodynamic therapy, and mindfulness to help reduce the client’s distress.

My interests outside of work are horses, horses, and more horses! I am completing my training as an Equine Assisted Psychotherapist to assist clients with their mental health and well being and I work alongside experienced horse trainer Karen White at the Mohegan Training Centre in Henley Brook.
