Horse-assisted coaching for young people and young adults
Horse-assisted coaching for young people and young adults at a força, in The Hague and Leiden, following the ‘Horse as Mirror’ methodology. Contact with horses is easy to enter into: they don't judge. That gets something moving without much need for talking.
I work from the ‘Horse as Mirror’ methodology. My aim is to help young people and young adults flourish (again) and to give them the chance to develop in a positive way.
Contact with horses is easy to enter into. They are not judgemental and are remarkably effective at helping you get into connection with yourself.
How does it help?
The role of horses in coaching with young people and young adults
Horses are exceptionally attuned to non-verbal communication and can detect subtle signals and emotions in people. That sensitivity makes them ideal partners in the coaching process with young people. By working together with horses, they learn to communicate better, develop self-awareness and strengthen coping strategies in a non-judgemental environment.
Benefits of horse-assisted coaching
Improved communication skills:
Horse-assisted coaching encourages non-verbal communication and the reading of body language, which can be particularly valuable for young people and young adults who have got stuck in their lives.
Increased self-confidence:
Successfully handling and influencing a large animal such as a horse can considerably improve self-confidence and self-worth.
Reduced stress:
The presence of and interaction with horses has been shown to reduce stress and anxiety, which has a calming influence.
Development of social skills:
By working in a group, young people can practise their social skills in a safe and supportive environment.
