The Equine Psychotherapy Institute

The EPI offered me incredible knowledge and confidence, shared with me a way to support others to allow for awareness and change, and in the process supported my own growth and healing. The relationships I gained will be ongoing, and have nurtured and supported me. I feel more confident in my abilities and my knowledge than ever before.

Incredible learning experience and completely changed my life. I went from being scared of my day dream, to living it. I now run my own team out of my employer's business, own horses and have never looked back. Thank you EPI, thank you.

I was very disappointed by this course. The instructor was horribly rude to students. We constantly ran late and then didn't have time to do the actual course work or much practical work. The 'lectures' were ong winded and often just involved reading the text book in a group. Several of the learning activities" just involved us reading chapters from the book alone. The first week I learnt a little (mainly around gestalt therapy) then rest of it was boring and basic. They claim it's "Post graduate level" but it's nothing like that. I felt utterly conned and ripped off.I wish I had saved my money and just read a book. As for insurance to practice you can get that without this course. It's not needed to work in this field."

Training at the EPI has allowed me to live my dream to work along side animals in a healing space. Amazing team which supported me on this journey. Life long friendships are made here. Highly recommend studying with Meg and her team,

One of the most wonderful and life changing experiences.

I wonder how a course can be an AQF level 8 equivalent". It's not an accredited course so why is it being advertised as "equivalent". It is not equivalent as there is no equivalency to a accredited course."

When I began the course, I felt totally out of my depth, my introjects were working overtime! The inside out learning for me was a total life changer, with massive ‘aha’ moments – very challenging but so rewarding. I have learned so much about horses and how to connect in a beautiful safe way and I love that I can share this with other people and bring happiness to their lives. There is so much support from the EPI team and the feedback received after the assessments and final exams were so positive and helpful. I am proud of myself for sticking with the course and thank the EPI team very much for their support and encouragement and fantastic resources that enabled me to become a certified EAL Practitioner

Such a supportive and inclusive learning space, which has defintely honed my skills as a therapist and taught me valuable strategies to support not only my participants, but also myself. Always a pleasure, I look forward to my next course!

The intensive foundation training was a pivotal experience in my life and career. I expected that I would enjoy the training but the experience far exceeded my expectations. I found the rigour and comprehensiveness of the theory, methodology and practice in the EPI model utterly satisfying in its completeness. There were no loose threads, no inconsistencies and everything was logically interconnected. The training spaces at the Institute were entirely conducive to the rich and rewarding learning opportunities presented. EPI hold high standards of practice competence – and ensure that students are well supported to attain those standards. I had a wonderful experience that continues on through my friendships and networks with EPI colleagues

The EPI course has changed my life. I choose the online course over 12 months studying Equine Assisted Learning. It was a deep dive into my own personal development and now I am able to support others to shine bright. Thank you for welcoming me to be apart of the EPI herd.
