WELCOME TO
Contented People
Equine Therapy combined with Mental Health Counselling is a powerful combination. It encompasses a range of structured gentle ground-based activities with horses/ponies which can help those suffering with mental health issues.
The founder of Contented People Alex Gulland, obtained her Equine Assisted Learning training from the LEAP organisation (ACCPH & BACP Organisational member). Alex is also a member of the BACP and is trained in Person Centred Therapy. She is informed by Inner Child and Jungian Analytical Therapy. She is currently learning Polyvagal Theory and is a member of the Equine Polyvagal Institute.
Alex also volunteers as a counsellor for the Forward Trust/Open Adults Counselling Services. She also provides room based and remote therapy.
Alex uses her counselling skills to help individuals with a variety of issues including, depression, anxiety, bereavement, addictions, anger and transitions in life.
It is also ideal for individuals who are motivated to find out more about themselves and work towards solving their issues.
This type of therapy utilises the concept that people's lives can be positively influenced and changed by spending quality time with horses, who are excellent teachers in our journey to discover and understand ourselves.
