Animal Assisted Therapy

 Animal assisted therapy is used to enhance and compliment traditional psychotherapy by incorporating animals into the therapeutic process. Clients and animals work together in therapeutic activities to develop a strong bond, which allows the client to develop a better sense of self-worth and trust, stabilise emotions, and improve their communication, self-regulation and social skills. 

Animal assisted therapy can help with a variety of experiences and conditions including:

· Stress

· Anxiety

· Depression

· Autism

· ADHD

· Addiction

· Schizophrenia

· Emotional behavioural problems in children

· Alzheimer's disease

Here at Higher Farm, clients will be supported by staff and their carers to access a range of therapeutic interventions including:

· Horse riding

· Horse walking

· Goat therapy

· Group classes

· Animal grooming

· Animal assisted breath work

· Therapy Pod

 Clients are welcome to attend as many sessions as they desire, and each session will be tailored to their individual needs and preferences.
