spirit of the phoenix equine assisted therapy
The horse is a mirror to our truth, and empowers us over life's obstacles

Equine assisted therapy is the process of using the horse to help an individual to explore their inner obstacles.

These may be fear, grief, anger or any other emotion.

Horses are acutely aware of human emotions and most of the time they are more aware of how we are feeling than we know ourselves. By trusting that awareness it creates a platform for personal growth.

"It immediately reflected to me what was going on inside and how this related to my behaviour in my everyday interactions in life…..It could save years on counselling!"
This process helps to bring about changes on an emotional and psychological level.

Mostly working with the horse at liberty (loose but in a controlled and confined area), personal obstacles can be explored in many different ways.

With the assistance of the therapist, who will ask leading questions to help the individual look deeper into their emotion or obstacle. Until a solution is found and harmony is restored.

"She (Miss Red) will empower you to find your true self and discover the qualities that you have deep within".

It is fascinating to see how the horse is able to draw out any emotional conflicts that a person has at that current moment.

Spirit of the Phoenix has helped many people with many issues, from personal development, self love, communication, identity,  confidence andrelationships, right through to depression, panic attacks, emotional trauma, OCD, grief, phobias and sexual abuse

The horse provides us with the opportunity to work on intrapersonal as well as interpersonal relationships.

Working on self awareness, self regulation, independence, assertiveness, goal setting and achieving, self regard and self esteem (among others), the horse can become a metaphor for the area or obstacle the client is wishing to explore and resolve.

We can use the horse for team building exercises, to help develop better communication and relationships with families, partners, friends or co-workers.

"I'm blown away at how impressive and helpful, the Spirit of the Phoenix has been today. I'm genuinely astounded."

By carrying out self analysis and looking at your own relationship to any given obstacle, we can form a solution so you can become the person you are aspiring to be.

Each Session is 2 hours long, one to one with yourself, Naomi and one of the horses.

We look forward to meeting you

"It amazed me how much I learned about myself and my current feelings/ behaviours so instantly through the interaction with the horse. It immediately reflected to me what was going on inside and how this related to my behaviour in my everyday interactions in life…..It could save years on counselling!.. Naomi was calm, non-judgmental supportive and patient, and Red was a star!.. I would like to learn a lot more about this work I find it fascinating. Thanks Naomi and Red!"- Sarah from Derby
"I felt empowered by the connection with the horses and felt rewarded by the horses honest feedback and unconditionally accepted. The experience was highly valued for self development purposes. I look forward to continuing this process- Ella from Norfolk
“The fact that these sessions can help anyone with their negative attitudes not only for people who ride!” - Anna from Lincolnshire
“A fun way of becoming more self aware”- Valerie from Derbyshire
“I feel more confident in myself” - Tess from Mansfield
“Believe completely in how the therapy works and Naomi’s vision" - Emily from Mansfield
“A very useful open day. As a trainee OT it showed me another side to OT I had never seen before. A brilliant opportunity I am so pleased I came”- Claire from Derbyshire
"You should come here because they can offer support if needed, the trainer is really nice and you'll have a great time"- Lucy from Derbyshire
"Last year I attended an open day at Spirit of the Phoenix and was impressed by the therapy Naomi and the horses can provide. Having been aware that there were a couple of areas of my life where I was not completely at ease, I decided to have an Equine Assisted Therapy session recently. Within moments of being in the round pen with Red, with Naomi asking insightful and direct questions the cause and origin of those issues were identified, brought out into the open and given clarity. It was an instant relief, a weight lifted. In my opinion Naomi and her horse partners are truly gifted at picking up what lies beneath the surface, that which we cannot always see for ourselves. Once Naomi had helped me recognise what was at the heart of the matter, we could then work on ways to move forward positively and more easily, with helpful tools and strategies. I feel happier, lighter and clearer since the session. Thank you Naomi and Red, you do fantastic work" - Jess from Nottinghamshire
"Naomi is such a lovely, competent, caring and skilful support person during the whole process. I cannot speak too highly of her (and red)."- Lily from Nottinghamshire
