Hi, I am Francesca. I offer therapeutic services both as an online counsellor and on-site as Equine assisted therapist. I create a safe and gentle space in which my clients can explore the difficult aspects of life and thereby gaining a deep understanding of their thoughts, emotions and the impact of our responses on self and others. When working on-site in my beautiful paddock in the hills of South Gippsland, the horses become our therapeutic partners supporting with co-regulation, communication of boundaries and nurture connection to other social beings and nature. More info on www.thehorsewithin.com.au
Exploring and making sense of the relationship with ourselves and others builds the foundation for our work together, creating space for perspective and compassion towards self and others. I draw on my training in person-centred, emotion-focussed and phenomenological therapy as well as my training with the Equine Psychotherapy Institute.
One of the most important factors why therapy is deemed successful is a trusting relationship with your therapist. Let's chat over the phone to see whether we 'click' and you feel that I am the right person to support you in your journey.
