About us
Grounded Steps began with a love of horses, people, nature, and the quiet support of the outdoors.
Based in Silverdale, NSW, Grounded Steps helps those who are dealing with anxiety, stress, low confidence, emotional challenges, life changes, social difficulties, neurodiversity, relationship issues, grief, trauma, or anyone wanting to better understand themselves.
GROUNDED STEPS EQUINE ASSISTED THERAPY & COUNSELLING
Here, children, young people, and adults can take time to slow down, feel safe, and explore new ways to grow through counselling, nature-based activities, and spending time with horses and animals.
We use proven counselling methods, trauma-informed care, and practical learning. Being in nature can lower stress, lift your mood, and support your mental health. Working with horses helps build emotional awareness, stronger relationships, and engagement when done safely and with care. At Grounded Steps, therapy is never about forcing change. We offer a safe place where you can notice, reflect, try new skills, and move forward in your own time.
“Animals have a gentle way of helping us feel grounded, supported, and understood, without pressure or expectation.”

Why Horses?
Horses respond honestly, without judgment and in the present moment.
They do not judge your appearance, history, diagnosis, or words. Horses respond to what is happening right
now—your body language, energy, intention, movement, and connection.
