Horse super power: Brave, kind and trusting

I am a qualified and accredited Equine-Assisted Practitioner, with a strong academic background in forensic psychology and mental health, alongside more than 30 years of experience owning, caring for, and working with horses.

My professional journey has brought together my academic knowledge, experience within mental health settings, and a deep understanding of the unique relationship between humans and horses. I hold a Bachelor of Science (BSc) in Forensic Psychology and a Master of Science (MSc) in Forensic Psychology & Mental Health. I am currently undertaking a Professional Doctorate in Counselling Psychology, further developing my knowledge and clinical understanding of psychological wellbeing, therapeutic practice, and human development.

I hold an Equine Therapy Certification, accredited by ICAHP, IPHM, CMA, CPD and NCCAP, and I am currently completing the Equi-Connections Level 3 Diploma, accredited by ACCPH (Accredited Counsellors, Coaches, Psychotherapists and Hypnotherapists). I have also completed the Equi-Connections Diploma Level 2 (EFL), accredited by ACCPH.

My practice is informed by a trauma-informed approach, shaped by my experience of working within mental health settings and as a Wellbeing Practitioner. I aim to create a safe, compassionate, and supportive environment where individuals can explore their experiences, develop self-awareness, build confidence, and reconnect with their own strengths and potential.

I am the founder of Purshall Green Wellbeing, where I bring together my academic training, professional experience, and lifelong connection with horses. I am passionate about the unique alchemy that can emerge between practitioner and horse, creating opportunities for individuals to experience connection, insight, and personal growth in ways that may not always be possible through traditional approaches alone.

At the heart of my work is the belief that every individual has the potential to grow and flourish. Through the presence and partnership of the horse, I seek to facilitate a space where people can develop a deeper understanding of themselves, discover their strengths, and move towards reaching their full potential.
