Another weekend making a difference right here at 🐴🩵

A reminder that our office is closed today and tomorrow. Our office will be open again on Monday Morning at 9am.
We hope you enjoy your weekend 🐴

Check out some of the creativity in session. Creativity significantly benefits children’s psychological well-being by fostering emotional expression, enhancing problem-solving skills, and boosting self-esteem. Engaging in creative activities like this allows kids to process and articulate their feelings, leading to better emotional regulation. It also encourages flexible thinking and resilience, as they learn to approach challenges from various angles. Achieving creative goals instills a sense of accomplishment, reinforcing a positive self-image and confidence in their abilities.

Wishing all the mums out there a very happy Mother’s Day. You are amazing, and we know just how hard you work. We thank you for being the wonderful women you are.

Today is 💙
A day to stand against bullying, a day to foster creating a kinder, safer world.

For those who don’t know, Dolly sadly took her life at just 14 after experiencing relentless bullying. Her parents put together Dolly’s Dream to support others and promote awareness through their anti-bullying foundation.

At ANSA we aim to aid in the stance against bullying and provide a space for those who have experienced any form of bullying. Equine offers support, empathy, and a safe space to heal and thrive. Today, be extra kind, it costs nothing and can make more of an impact than you’ll ever know! 🩵

How Equine Helps with Authenticity, Set Backs, Change, and Evolving

Authenticity - It takes courage to be yourself in a world where you are constantly told that who you are isn’t enough. Being yourself is the biggest gift you can offer to horses. Be brave enough to show the them who you are, and they will show you who they are without apology.

Set Backs - They’re a part of your journey. They’re not signs to stop. They might burn a little, but they serve a greater purpose that you will discover once you make it to the other side. Don’t give up on yourself and your four legged friend won’t either.

Change - You are not the person you used to be. Your boundaries may look different. Your outlook looks may change. You may not tolerate what you used to. Together, with our four legged friends we are walking a path of purpose and conviction, allowing you to reintroduce yourself so they get to know the new YOU.

Evolving - Sometimes we feel guilty because the person we once were isn’t who we are
now. When we evolve, we move out of
alignment with certain people around
us. Horses help you to stand proud in who you are. Horses will honour your growth.

Check out some of the creativity from sessions on the weekend. Building safe spaces, horsemanship, and friendship circles with kindness are just some of the creative ways we learn in our equine sessions 🐴

So sad. It is not improving.

How Equine Help Healing Families at ANSA 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦🐴

Often a lack of communication is the common theme in many family relationships. Equine assisted sessions can aid in the process of learning to better communicate, build trust, and strengthen relationships within the family unit. By involving horse-human interaction, family members can learn to better understand the needs and feelings of each other and develop healthy communication skills. During session, families are able to learn how to work together as a team, encouraging the family together, to set goals and move towards achieving them, teaching important lessons in cooperation, resilience, and problem solving.

They say there are three types people in the world, some will test you, some will teach you, and some will bring out the best in you. Horses can do all three 🐴

In this moment, Myles knew exactly what was needed.
Horses are highly intuitive animals and can pick up on human emotions, even those emotions that we may not be consciously aware of. It can help us become more attuned to our emotions and learn to manage them effectively. This nonverbal communication can be a powerful tool in stress management as it promotes self-awareness and emotional regulation. Some sessions we completely let go. We allow the client to go on their own journey and then let them discover. Our four-legged team members make an impact we may never know, but what a pleasure it is to work with them at ANSA 🐴

“Emotional intelligence is a way of recognizing, understanding, and choosing how we think, feel, and act. It shapes our interactions with others and our understanding of ourselves. It defines how and what we learn; it allows us to set priorities; it determines the majority of our daily actions. Research suggests it is responsible for as much as 80 percent of the “success” in our lives.” - J. Freedman

Safety and Reflective Self Awareness

Through building we are able to grasp the concept a client has of safety. For every individual, there is meaning in what you build, what you see and what we see.

What is happening for you that makes you feel safe in the space you’ve created?

When safety is invaded or removed do you feel Anger? Fear? Grief? Joy?
In these moments, we implement and Indigenous technique called Dadirri. This process includes mindfulness and spirituality. This Australian Aboriginal practice involves inner, deep listening and quiet, still awareness. Dadirri recognises the deep spring that is inside us which calls to us as we call on it.

Clients may also see in visual space, a valid representation of something they have been grappling with in their life.

So, what does your safety look like?
Come and discover yourself at ANSA Counselling through equine assisted psychotherapy.

Yesterday was National Make a Friend Day. So here’s to our four legged friends that we get to work with at ANSA. They love us unconditionally, and connect in a way that humans can’t. 🐴♥️

Meet Myles, the newest team member at ANSA Counselling 🐴
Myles arrived on Friday afternoon and is settling in really well with our practitioners and four-legged team members. Myles will be joining sessions for the first time this week, so be sure to keep an eye out for our new friend when you arrive. We are looking forward to seeing what Myles brings to our team 🐴

Such a wonderful family tradition.

ANSA Homes - a Famly Tradition.

Awesome.

The Bowery by ANSA Homes delivers the best modern aesthetic of new home design. With a sophisticated materials palette of brick, timber and render in a stylishly neutral earthy colour palette. The strong square angles of the front frame the facade for an avant-garde home that will be the stand out in any street.

Happy Easter.

Do not take any notice of anyone using ANSA Counselling’s logo offering money. It is another scam.

So very true.

So proud of you boys. Well done.
