Rider Confidence Courses That Help
My lifelong love for horses and dedication to the equestrian world led me to specialise in helping riders like you achieve their true potential. With a deep understanding of the mental challenges that come with riding, I use a blend of hypnotherapy, NLP, and EMDR to support riders in building confidence, releasing tension, and mastering focus. I know firsthand how it feels to face nerves and setbacks, and I'm passionate about guiding you toward peak performance, whether that means enhancing your competitive mindset, overcoming specific riding challenges, or simply finding joy and ease in the saddle.
Specialised Equestrian Focus
I have a deep understanding of the equestrian world and have firsthand experiences with the mental challenges riders face. My riders' confidence courses are uniquely tailored to address the specific needs of equestrians, from confidence-building to performance enhancement.
Unmatched Techniques
Using a powerful combination of hypnotherapy, NLP, and EMDR, I can offer targeted tools to help riders release tension, eliminate bad habits, and overcome nerves, ensuring they and their horses perform at their best.
Mobile Therapy Room at Competitions
I have travelled to many competitions across the UK, using the comfortable living area in my horsebox as a mobile therapy room. This offers riders the opportunity to manage competition nerves right before they compete, and ensure they are in the best head space possible to perform.
How Can Equestrian Hypnotherapy Help You?
Here’s how hypnotherapy can support equestrians in reaching their full potential:
-
Relaxation and Tension Release: Learn powerful techniques to stay calm and grounded, so your horse can feel at ease, free from any tension or anxiety they might otherwise pick up.
-
Confidence Boosting: Build up the inner confidence that naturally reassures your horse and strengthens the bond between you.
-
Correcting Unhelpful Habits: Equestrian hypnotherapy can help shift any ingrained habits in your riding position; for example, it helped me personally with keeping my left heel down when applying my left leg.
-
Overcoming Competition Nerves: Replace competition anxiety with a focused, calm mindset so you can bring your best self to every event.
-
Sharpened Focus on Goals: Lock in on the specific skills and mindset you need to achieve top competition results.
I also offer a tailored “weight reduction/improve your riding” package, a popular option for riders preparing for a new season or a big competition.
Horses have been my lifelong passion, and my journey with them has shaped my understanding of the challenges many equestrians face. I know how it feels to lose confidence, experience fear, and let those emotions hold you back from doing what you love. At one point, I even trained for a marathon as an excuse not to face my fears of jumping. Over the years, I’ve learned that fear and anxiety can rob us of precious time with our horses. My own experiences, coupled with my professional training as a clinical hypnotherapist, NLP, and EMDR therapist, have given me the tools and insights to help riders of all levels overcome these mental blocks and rediscover their joy in the saddle.
As a competitor myself, I’ve faced the highs and lows of the equestrian world. From competing at BE100 and BS105 with my beloved MJ before her retirement, to taking my time retraining my ex-racer Mac, I understand the pressure, setbacks, and triumphs that come with riding. This connection fuels my passion for helping others break through their fears, whether it’s mounting with confidence, conquering competition nerves, or correcting bad habits. Using tailored hypnotherapy techniques, I empower riders to build confidence, relax, and achieve their goals—so they can fully enjoy the partnership they’ve built with their horses.
