Welcome to Ripley Therapy Barn
Counselling and Animal Assisted Therapy with Rosie
Ripley Therapy Barn is based on a small holding from which I run my counselling and animal assisted therapy practice. It is nestled in the small village of Little Easton, a short distance from Great Dunmow just off the A120 and a short drive from Thaxted.
My therapy space is versatile, we have the option to be positioned in our indoor therapy space with views of greenery and animals or we can take our sessions outdoors where we can enter the field and various homes to the animals on site.
My Services
At Ripley Therapy Barn I offer 1-2-1 counselling sessions, as a trained animal assisted therapist, we can also introduce the added help of our furry and feathery friends.
“Animals are a mood lifter and an ice breaker. They are honest, empathetic, and naturally authentic. They don’t judge and they’re not vengeful. They live in the moment." - Sarah Urwin and Tracie Holroyd, BACP
Working amongst the animals can add an extra therapeutic layer to the work we do together. With their lack of judgement, it can enhance sense of belonging and acceptance of ourselves.
I recognise the benefit of being outside, in nature and interacting with animals as an alternative to working within a typical counselling room. The animals create a relaxed environment helping us to break down barriers and talk openly.
Our sessions are based on the unconditional support from myself and the animals we have at Ripley Therapy Barn.
