The Kind of Psychologist Who Gets It

Every now and then, you meet someone whose work doesn’t just sound good — it feels good.
That’s what it’s like talking with Dr Sophie Wicks.

Sophie isn’t just a Clinical Psychologist with 13 years’ experience in mental health — she’s someone who’s lived what she teaches. She knows what it’s like to walk through trauma and find her way back.
Her approach to therapy isn’t about “fixing” people — it’s about understanding them.

Instead of asking “What’s wrong with you?” she asks, “What’s happened to you?”
That one question changes everything.
It brings compassion back into the conversation — and it’s exactly why I’m so grateful to be working alongside her.

✨ Something special is brewing for next year — one that brings psychology and somatics together in a way you might not have seen before.

A Shared Vision for What’s Next

When I met Parvez Bhatty, he’d just taken on a new role — rebuilding and reimagining Leicester Children’s Holidays, a long-standing charity in need of fresh vision.
He turned that organisation around — giving it new life and expanding its mission to support children all year round, not just once a year by the sea.

That passion for renewal, for helping people thrive beyond the surface, is exactly what connects us.
Next year, we’re launching something that blends our worlds — his strategy and leadership expertise with Not for Profits and Charities and my work with horses, somatics, and emotional wellbeing.
It’s about creating spaces for leaders, teams, and individuals to grow with clarity, confidence, and connection.

Look at some of the amazing things Parvez has achieved in his Career -
Parvez is a strategist, mentor, and trustee advisor who thrives where leadership feels most isolated. He has held global leadership roles in investment banking technology, managing international teams and large-scale operations, and now applies that experience to supporting CEOs, boards, and international charities, especially organisations under pressure.

He knows what it feels like to be left in the room alone to deliver, and he steps in as a trusted sounding board, critical friend, and fearless advisor. Parvez excels at finding solutions, fixing broken bridges, and saying what others are afraid to say, always with empathy and integrity.

Through this partnership he will helps leaders and organisations thrive with clarity, purpose, and confidence. Helping them move through the unknown to a place where they feel safe again and the organisaiton is able to thrive.

Something we’ve both believed in for a long time — and it’s finally ready to take shape. In the new year we have something very special happening too… watch this space for more information as its all happening in the background .🐴✨

In 2019, , I met Parvez Bhatty — a man who would quietly shape the way I grew The Way of the Horse.
He’s been the person behind the scenes when I’ve needed clarity, perspective, or a nudge to keep going. The one who could see the bigger picture when I was knee-deep in the details.
Parvez has this incredible ability to steady leaders when everything feels uncertain. His work as a strategist, mentor, and advisor comes from experience — the kind that’s earned, not taught.
Over the years, we’ve shared long conversations about leadership, service, and what it means to create change that lasts.
Now, as we step into 2026, we’re bringing that shared passion to life in a brand new collaboration.
It’s about leading with integrity.
It’s about resilience.
It’s about human connection — and how that translates into real-world impact.
Can’t wait to share more soon.

Some connections are just meant to happen.

Back in 2019, when The Way of the Horse was still finding its feet, I attended an awards evening for a community project with Narcharel.
I was so new to business — full of passion but still figuring it all out.
When my name was called and we won, I nearly fell off my chair in shock. 😅

That’s when Parvez Bhatty came over and introduced himself.
He’d also been nominated for the same award that night, but obviously didn't win and we got chatting once all the formality’s had been completed.

What started as a conversation initially, turned into a friendship and informal mentorship that’s lasted years. Parvez became my sounding board through every up and down, every big decision, and every uncertain moment since then. He stood by my side when I didn't feel safe in business, when things went wrong and I didn't have the answer and when I felt alone.

When your business has 10 staff and you have to drive that ship alone (even though you have Directors/Trustees) you are ultimately responsible for everything and everyone. This can be very scary at times. Equally there were times when Parvez would pick my brain on things he hadn't got so much experience in, like Digital Marketing! I felt privileged to help him and that there was a good fair exchange.

And now… all these years later… we’re stepping into something new together.
Something that brings both our worlds — strategy, leadership, and emotional intelligence — into one powerful space.

✨ Watch this space for what’s coming in 2026…

❤️🐴 Remembering the Horses, Humans and Remembering Freedom

Today, we pause to remember.
Not only the men and women who gave their lives in war —
but the horses who stood beside them.

So many horses never came home.
They carried soldiers through fear and chaos,
gave comfort in the quiet moments between battles, and offered the same loyalty and courage they always do —
no matter the cost.

When I stand with my horses today, I think of their ancestors —
the strength in their hearts,
the innocence of their service,
and the freedom they helped to protect, even when they had none themselves.

Remembrance Sunday is a reminder of peace, Of gratitude,
Of the hope that we continue to live in a world where we can speak freely,
choose compassion, and honour life — human and animal alike.

May we never forget their sacrifice.
And may we never take our freedom for granted. May our freedom of continue and hope that we never have to fight another war where so many lives are lost and animals sacrificed,

❤️🐴

PODCAST: Taking Back The Reins with Dina Shale

EPISODE 51:
Listening to Your Emotions: What Horses Can Teach Us About Inner Wisdom

In this episode of Taking Back the Reins, host Dina Shale explores how emotions serve as vital information—guiding us toward what feels right or wrong, when to act, and when to rest.

Through the lens of trauma-informed equine facilitated learning, Dina explains how horses naturally read emotions as cues for survival and connection—and how we, too, can tune into that same emotional intelligence.

Drawing from her experience as a somatic experiencing practitioner, Dina shares how suppressing emotions disconnects us from our inner wisdom, and how reconnecting with our “felt sense” helps us make aligned, confident decisions.

You’ll also hear a powerful personal story where trusting emotional intuition helped her avoid a life-changing mistake—and how emotions, when understood, can become one of our greatest guides.

Whether you’re healing from trauma, working with horses, or simply learning to listen to your body’s messages, this episode will inspire you to see emotions not as weakness, but as wisdom.

🌿 Learning to Feel Again

There was a time I shut everything down — anger, sadness, even joy — because feeling felt too dangerous.
If I didn’t feel, I couldn’t be hurt.
But that numbness was its own kind of pain. Now we know this is a disconnection called disassociation .
Through this journey, I’ve learned that emotions aren’t the problem — disconnection is.

When I allow myself to feel, I come back to life.

The horses mirror this every day — they don’t judge emotion. They move through it. They let it rise and fall.

Feeling doesn’t make you weak.

It makes you real.
It reconnects you to your body, your truth, and your heart.
If you’re learning to feel again too, know this — you’re not going backwards.
You’re coming home. 💚

👉 Comment “I’m learning” if this is where you are right now. Let’s remind each other we’re not alone

When People Walk Away 💚

When people walk away, it leaves a hole you can feel right through your chest.
You replay conversations, you question yourself, you wonder if you could have done more.
But what I’ve learned — painfully, slowly — is that not everyone is meant to stay.

Sometimes their leaving isn’t a punishment.
It’s protection.

It’s the universe clearing space for something that’s built on truth, not illusion. Someone said to me this week that after the lowest time, became the hardest part is not chasing. Not explaining. Not defending.

It’s trusting that your peace matters more than being understood.
And it’s remembering — people who are meant to be in your life don’t need to be convinced to stay.

Stay grounded. Stay kind. Stay open.
The right connections always find their way back when the timing — and the healing — are right. 💚

👉 If this speaks to you, just leave a 💚 — sometimes that’s all the words we need.
