A unique, therapeutic approach to equine-faciliated support. Helping people thrive. 

About Us

We have founded Herd Together as a mother-and-daughter team, inspired by the profound impact of our own experiences with our Herd.

We provide an inclusive, welcoming space for people aged 13+, who may have a wide range of mental health needs, neurodiverse needs, or learning differences. Our approach may especially appeal to those who find traditional therapies challenging to access.

Our work centres around horses and donkeys, whose natural empathy and wisdom offer a unique mirror for self-discovery. These animals reflect what we may need to discover about ourselves in a non-judgmental and compassionate way.

By interacting with our Herd, clients can gain insight into their relationships with others and deepen their understanding of themselves, leading to a greater sense of well-being.

What do we offer?

We can help with a variety of challenges such as anxiety, low mood, depression, relationship struggles, grief, stress, trauma and loneliness. Our overall hope is to help you understand yourself better, while giving you a greater sense of wellbeing.

We aim to do this by providing tailored, person-centred interventions to meet your individual needs, This may include Equine Facilitated Psychotherapy (EFT) or Equine Facilitated Learning (EFL)*, combined with creative therapies, mindfulness, CBT, coaching, and storytelling where appropriate or beneficial.

*The difference between EFT and EFL is that EFT is a therapeutic approach guided by a therapist, and EFL is an learning approach guided by a trained facilitator rather than a therapist. Though there are overlaps throughout both.

We can offer support in different ways;

1:1 support

Group work

Corporate days/team building

Mindfulness with horses and nature

Once you have completed a support request form, we will arrange a time to informally discuss your requirements.

If you chose to continue with us, we will follow this up with an assessment to ensure that Herd Together is the appropriate approach for you.
