The Heard Therapy CIC

Empowering Equines, Empowering People

We provide private and confidential one-to-one equine assisted psychotherapy and counselling, group therapy sessions and alternative therapeutic education, as well as a range of wellbeing services.

Based in Isle Abbotts near Ilminster in Somerset. The Heard Therapy is a client-centred and horse-centred therapeutic space set within the context of beautiful countryside and surrounding nature.

Michaela and her team of horses, Reggie, Star, Darcy, Tigger and Gizmo, provide a safe and private space from which personal growth and development naturally transpire.

At The Heard Therapy, we avoid the use of stereotypes; every individual is embraced within our community and honoured for their unique identity. Central to our ethos is respecting personal preferences and adopting a communication style tailored to each person's comfort and understanding, ensuring they feel at ease and truly heard.

We understand that not everyone is looking for a counselling service. The Heard Therapy offers tailored sessions adapted to your needs. Check out Wellbeing Days & Retreats for more information.
