Equine Assisted Therapy - Nature Nurture Therapy

Nature Nurture Therapy offers a unique and alternative experience to personal growth and mental health support. We aim to provide a safe and supportive space set in the natural environment for people to work through challenges they may be facing. The animals at Nature Nurture act as co-facilitators, they are ever present, non-judgmental and accepting of everyone.

Nature Nurture Therapy offers Equine and Animal assisted Psychotherapy and Learning (EAP and EAL) specialised wellness programs and Corporate workshops. Our practitioners are trauma informed and have varying qualifications in Psychology, Psychotherapy, Mental Health, Education and have all completed training and are certified with the Equine Assisted Psychotherapy Institute of Australia (EPI).

Welcoming children, adolescents and adults, we provide a space that is inclusive and accepting of all. At Nature Nurture Therapy we can support NDIS participants who are plan managed or self-managed.
