Hi everyone, 

It’s been a while!

EQ Haven is still here:)

About to head into our 5th year! Yes really!!

Our 7 session Horse Widom program is so popular with adults and children that we are now able to offer ongoing sessions after it has concluded and call these our ‘Top up your Cup’ programs.

For the many children and young people who access our programs we are keen to enable them to stay at school/ university during the week, so we have some limited Saturday morning sessions available (for adults too) and every third Friday morning of the month.

Our business has been operational since 2021 and as we head into 2025 with an established operation, we are making a few changes for those hot days: for Summer our appointment times are 0845, 1015am and 1130am. Each session goes for 45 minutes with time then for session write up. There are some limited twilight sessions available (6.30-7.15pm – days vary) please contact us if you are interested. 

We have had an amazing amount of interest in our psychotherapy program and must stress that sessions are confirmed when you receive a txt message 24-48 hours beforehand and reply with yes or no. Therefore, no txt means no session – if this happens and you are sure you are booked in just give us a call and we can confirm whether you have a session booked or not. 

Whilst we do not generally charge a cancellation fee, please let us know as soon as possible if you are unable to make the session so it can be offered to another person on the waitlist. 

We will continue to keep our website as updated as possible including Facebook and Instagram but we are pretty busy so forgive us if it is not as up to date as it could be!

———————————————————–

We thank all who have and continue to reach out to us, we never take your consideration for granted:).

We would ask that you continue to register your interest in our equine and nature assisted psychotherapy, noting at this time we have availability in January 2025.

Whilst on the wait list we encourage you to contact us on a regular basis and to reach out for support that we can offer by phone. We will also stay in touch with you.

We will also try and refer you to a service that might meet your needs in the meantime if you prefer.

When you do register your interest, you will be contacted for an informal and confidential chat and invited for a complimentary meet and greet appt at the farm to meet the horses, therapists and see the facilities and join us for a morning tea. This is really important to see if we are the right fit for you:). These are usually conducted on Saturday afternoons.

EQ Haven therapists are available to chat by phone 6-8pm Mon-Thurs evenings (AEST).

Emails or text messages can be left at any time, and you will be contacted asap via these platforms if preferred with a plan to chat at some stage. 

When you do register interest in our services you will be asked if you are interested in participating in some research that EQ Haven is hoping to commence – full details will be given at the time and of course you have the right to decline. 

Research is really important so we can continually strive to build up a body of evidence about this amazing psychotherapy and the positive effect on people’s lives. We are continually looking at how we maintain the balance of horse and people welfare and a mutual satisfaction to improve lives and existence. 

We will always try and do our very best to accommodate clients to access support when they need it.

We encourage direct feedback (the good and not so good) so we can continually improve our services and ask you to complete the feedback questionnaires at review time and on conclusion of the program. 

We are looking forward to 2025 and welcoming you on the journey with us:)

Thanks for your continued support!

Mandy and Team EQH
