About Equus Ferus
Equus Ferus specialises in equine therapy for human development (EFHD), offering therapeutic sessions and workshops with horses at the heart of what they do. Their dedicated team of qualified counsellors provides general counselling, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), and addiction recovery support, integrating mindfulness practices with the unique benefits of equine facilitated activities.
They work with anyone facing mental health challenges, and offer tailored programmes for specific groups. These include EquiPath, a programme designed to help people understand and overcome addictive behaviour; dedicated support for former service personnel through equine activities and veterans' wellbeing initiatives; and the Foster-carers' Wellbeing Toolkit Programme. Their approach also incorporates SMART Recovery, a structured self-empowerment framework for addiction recovery.
Beyond one-to-one and group work, Equus Ferus brings small therapy animals to care homes, nursing homes and hospices, with sessions typically running for 60 to 90 minutes. This outreach extends their therapeutic reach to those in residential and end-of-life care settings.
Whether you're navigating mental health difficulties, working through addiction, supporting others as a foster carer, or seeking wellbeing support as a veteran, Equus Ferus offers evidence-informed, horse-centred therapy tailored to your needs.
