Testimonials

Working with EFP has been lovely. I used the sessions with Laura to focus on myself after some recent trauma. It really opened me up and let me look into myself for things I did not know were underlying issues. Laura made me feel at ease with the horses, who have also been fantastic. It’s a beautiful setting and Laura is very patient. My confidence and ability to work with the horses developed over the sessions and I am looking at myself and the way I view things in a different way. The sessions have slowly started to build up some confidence and made me realise what I need to do for me. The grounding/breathing technique is something I am using daily to help me move forward and with thoughts and feelings that are not positive. I would love to continue sessions with Laura when the time comes as these have been so beneficial for me. Thank you for your time and for helping me.

Having not heard of this therapy before I was very open minded to a new experience. Laura is very easy to talk to and she gained my trust instantly. Working with the horses was an incredible experience and the methods used took my breath away. It was amazing how Laura could relate my interactions with the horses to my own anxiety. After each session I felt calm and at peace, a great way to start your day! I would highly recommend Laura and this form of therapy to anyone looking for an alternative, even if you are not a horse lover.

I really enjoyed working with Laura as she was able to successfully combine her skills and knowledge as a psychologist with the concept of working with horses. She was able to translate how I was feeling into my behaviour with the horses, and to explain how the two could work together for a positive benefit.

I have been in and out of talking therapies for much of my life, but this was the first time that I'd ever experienced anything like this (equine therapy) before. Within a few minutes of meeting Laura and hearing about her experiences and expertise, I was immediately put at ease and knew I was in a safe space. Laura talked about the process and the research that had been poured into this kind of therapy. I felt like I was definitely in safe hands and was looking forward to starting this process. The whole journey has been incredibly powerful for me, and it is something that I am looking forward to continuing with Laura. I have never felt or come away from any therapy session before with such a sense of enlightenment and hope for the future of my mental wellbeing and this is down to Laura's thought and care that she put into each and every session. Thank you, Laura!
