About Us

Whispers equine Ltd was established in 2021, by Debbie and Laura, sisters, horse lovers, experienced social workers and trauma informed mental health practitioners, who also hold a diploma in equine assisted learning.

Using a trauma informed approach to our work with young people and parents, we are committed to supporting people to improve their mental health and emotional wellbeing.

We are able to formulate person centred sessions that can complement the care and support plan to maximise the young person’s outcomes.

What is Assisted Equine Therapy?

Equine-assisted therapy (EAT) is a form of therapy that involves horses and humans working together.

Why Horses?

Horses are beautiful, intelligent, sensitive and strong beings who can evoke strong feelings in people or engage people in the learning process.

Calm and healthy horses can assist in co-regulating a person’s nervous system, can model healthy living and expression of feelings, as well as offering non judgemental safety and trust.

Horses can offer unique bio feedback and hold people in a way traditional therapy environments cannot. The natural environment can also contribute positively to therapeutic outcomes for people.
