Equine Therapy

---

Sarah Butterworth is the owner of Untwist Your Thinking Therapy and a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO). She provides individual counselling for children (5+), adolescents (12+), adults (18+), and couples, using evidence-based approaches including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT). Sarah believes therapy should be a safe, welcoming, and non-judgmental space where clients feel understood, validated, and supported while building coping strategies and working toward meaningful change.

In partnership with Melanie Marion, Sarah offers Equine Psychotherapy at Hope Equestrian Team once a month on Saturdays from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm. Equine Psychotherapy is a unique, experimental approach to mental health and personal growth that involves guided interactions with horses in a safe, supportive environment. Horses are highly intuitive animals that naturally respond to human emotions, body language, and energy, making them powerful partners in the therapeutic process. 

Equine therapy is more than just spending time with horses; it is healing, grounding, and deeply transformative. Through activities such as grooming, leading, and working alongside the horse, clients can develop greater self-awareness, emotional regulation, confidence, trust, and connection. Unlike traditional talk therapy, this hands-on approach allows individuals to explore thoughts and feelings in a natural way, helping meaningful insights and deeper healing emerge in a peaceful outdoor setting.
