Where Horses Meet Healing
Grow Therapy Services is proud to now offer Equine-Assisted Therapy in partnership with Pilbara Heart Horses – bringing together the power of connection, movement, and nature with our neuroaffirming, person-centred approach to therapy.
About Equine- Assisted Therapy
Equine-Assisted Therapy offers a unique and powerful therapeutic experience, where the presence of horses supports emotional regulation, body awareness, communication, and confidence.
​
Sessions are grounded in safety, trust, and connection – allowing each child or young person to engage in ways that feel right for them.
Horses offer gentle, non-judgemental feedback and connection that can’t be replicated in traditional clinic settings.
​
Our approach is guided by neuroaffirming practice, trauma-informed care, and a belief that everyone deserves to be supported in their own time and space.
How We Deliver Equine Therapy
Equine-Assisted Therapy sessions are co-facilitated by a trained Therapy Assistant in partnership with a Lead Clinician to ensure that each experience is intentionally guided by therapeutic goals, sensory and communication needs, and the unique preferences of each participant.
​
Sessions take place in a natural and regulated outdoor setting designed to support calm engagement and reduce sensory overwhelm.
Activities may include grooming, leading, observing, and structured horse interactions based on the participant’s goals.
​
Therapy goals may include:
-
Building emotional regulation and body awareness
-
Increasing confidence and communication
-
Supporting movement, coordination, and sensory integration
-
Enhancing social and relational skills
-
Strengthening identity and connection to self
