Counsellor and Equine Therapist Caitlin has endeavored to create a peaceful, safe and nurturing environment where individuals, and families can seek guidance and support on their journeys towards personal growth and continual development of their strengths and worth.

​

At Under The Willow Tree Gippsland we also offer Equine/Animal Assisted Psychotherapy Sessions.

Which has been hugely popular amongst all demographics.

These sessions are individually designed to help the client to connect with animals in a meaningful way, promoting emotional healing and personal growth.

Owner Counsellor and Equine Therapist Caitlin has always had a passion for helping people.

Caitlin is a married mother of 3, and like most unfortunately in today's society, she too has been faced with some traumatic life events over her life. Which in turn has helped shape her incredible passion and understanding for working with people on a deeper level.

 

Caitlin has found out not only for herself over the years just how therapeutic the equine/human relationship can be but the incredible benefits it has for her clients. It only fuels her aspirations in being able to provide such an amazing therapeutic experience.

Caitlin started her younger self off in the field of Criminal Justice and decided as time went on she wanted to do something more direct within the therapeutic space to help guide people through all periods of their lives.

 

Caitlin studied her Diploma of Counselling at the Australian Collage of Applied Psychology and gained her qualification back in 2015. Caitlin is also ACA accredited.

Caitlin is also currently undertaking her bachelor's with ACAP to enhance her skill set, so she can truly offer the best to her clients.

 

Caitlin has of course over the years gained much more life experience and personal development to assist her professional role, as well as having gone on to continue to build her skill set and explore new Therapies such as studying her Practitioners Training at the Equine Assisted Wellbeing Institute.

 

Caitlin, has also over the years facilitated DV Support/ Mental Health Groups, worked closely with youths and worked as an independent Support Worker for many different Clients is which she has always found very rewarding. She has also had many years working in the Equine world, as well as in the Agricultural world in which she went on to obtained her cert 3 in Agriculture as a part of that.
