Grounded Steps Equine Assisted Therapy offers a calm, farm-based space where children, young people and adults can slow down, feel safe and connect in a meaningful way.  Based in Silverdale, NSW, Grounded Steps provides an alternative to traditional room-based therapy, supporting clients through guided and safe interactions with horses.

Each session is tailored to the individual needs, comfort level and goals of the client.  Through honest, respectful and authentic connection, clients are supported to better understand themselves, strengthen relationships, and build skills and confidence in their own steps forward.

Set on a working farm, Grounded Steps offers clients the opportunity to experience therapy in a natural grounded environment alongside horses and within nature.
