There is something deeply calming about the presence of horses. These gentle giants have huge hearts and peaceful natures.
Horses don’t judge people on their age, race or disability. They do give love, patience and teach people to live in the moment.
✓ Equine Empowerment
By simply walking around a paddock in safe and supported environment, horses can help with emotional awareness, trust, social skills, problem solving skills, relationships and assertiveness.
✓ Horse-Assisted Healing
Our lovely, well-trained horses, DJ, Pixie and Sugar along with experienced horse owner Bel, will help calm each person and assist individuals to work through their challenges whilst becoming aware of their behaviors and responses.

What to Expect in a Session
- Quiet observation of horses to calm the mind
- Gentle interaction with horses at liberty (feeding, touching, or simply saying hello)
- Grooming, leading, or liberty-leading (guiding a horse without a rope)
- Creative activities like games or art with the horses
- Talk therapy with Bel — either one-on-one or alongside the horses
Each session moves at your pace and is designed to help you feel safe, supported, and grounded.
Equine Assisted Counselling is tailored to your needs
We take a person-centered approach, tailoring each session to your unique needs. Once we understand what support you’re looking for, we gently introduce you to one of our horses in a calm, therapeutic environment.
Equine Assisted Counselling can be a powerful therapy on its own, or it can complement your existing mental health treatment plan.
Other Services at BeStable
If horse therapy isn’t the right fit right away, Bel also offers:
- Face-to-face counselling for individuals dealing with mental health challenges, life transitions, or substance use.
- Play therapy for children who prefer not to engage with horses. Play can help calm the mind and open up natural, therapeutic conversations.

Our 9 year old daughter has started seeing Bel and I cannot recommend her enough! Bel has been absolutely amazing and has helped our daughter in so many ways and brought things to our attention that we as a family were not even aware of. Our daughter so looks forward to her appointments and has even said to us
‘I love how Bel makes me talk about my feelings and things, it feels good. I love it’

I have seen Bel twice now and each time I’ve left I’ve felt 100 % better than I did when I walked in. She makes you feel so comfortable and is totally okay with all of my awkwardness. The horses are incredible and have taught me quite a few things about myself. I’d highly recommend bel to anyone that just needs a chat or ongoing support, she really listens and cares.
