Alternative Education Provision in a Unique Therapeutic Setting

At SCEAP we are wanting to support more young people in our local community by providing opportunities for them to learn, grow and achieve within our naturally therapeutic environment. We offer professional support in a beautiful and peaceful setting, allowing young people to thrive and learn in a non threatening, alternative space. The staff are qualified, approachable, experienced and care about helping to develop the young people in their care.

The therapy ponies provide an experiential meeting that allows a non threatening approach to observing behaviours, emotions and challenges. They provide instant feedback to the young people in a meaningful connection and help them to make changes, whilst providing a unique bond between the horse and the human. All activities are carefully structured, and are a mixture of  active and reflective sessions, and these are always presented in a way that is both creative and fun.

SCEAP supports access to learning for everyone.

What is Equine Therapy?

Equine therapy uses equine activities to help a client explore how they feel about themselves, their situation and their relationships. It can help them to see patterns of behaviour and allows them to find ways to make changes. This therapy can often act as a bridge for young people to help them move on to talking therapy or counselling. The activities are non verbal and present opportunities for personal growth, confidence and self esteem. 

​

A client will be introduced to the natural herd and will reflect on what they have observed in the field. This can also help them to identify, through self- reflection, any issues that come up for them. The horse is highly tuned and will key into the client's emotions, allowing them to feel them, and evaluate the interpretation of them. 

​

It is a powerful tool that can help clients who are anxious, depressed, angry or have other emotional problems. The activities are designed to bring healing through the horses to the client in a non judgemental, safe environment. The client will have a tailored programme which matches their needs and will work with the horses over a period of time, usually around 8 weeks. During this time, they will develop a relationship with the horses and in doing so, begin to trust both the horses and the therapist. This allows them to be open in their self learning.
