Exciting Equine Facilitated CPD opportunity for counsellors and therapists

Posted 2 Sep 2019

The amazing Ivan Broad from Ivan Broad Counselling has asked Danielle to step in and co-facilitate some CPD training looking at energy in the therapeutic relationship.

The energy that the therapist carries into each session can influence how the client interacts and how safe they feel at an unconscious level. This will effect the the depth at which the therapist and client are able to work.With the help of highly sensitive horses as co-facilitators, the course tutors will help therapists to understand how their own energy may impact their work.
