Berkman Academy Equine Assisted Therapy and Counselling in Melbourne's outer east
Counselling for kids, teens and adults who've found that sitting in a room doesn't work for them. Outdoors, moving, with horses.
​
A horse has nervous system regulation perfected. Stand next to one and you can learn it.
​
Anxiety, ADHD, autism. An action-based approach that doesn't rely on talk therapy alone.

We partner with schools, community organisations and recovery services to deliver funded wellbeing programs.
Past and Present Programs
Veterans & First responders
Some people were trained for a job, but not trained for what comes after.
​
At Berkman Academy, we help veterans and first responders regain their lives by working with horses, regulating their nervous system, and building trust in themselves and others.​​

Nature-Based Counselling
Not everyone connects with horses straight away.
We also offer counselling sessions in a quieter setting, for those who prefer a slower, more conversation-based approach.
​
These sessions are suited to teens and adults who want space to talk, walk, sit in nature, observing horses, reflect, and slow things down without the intensity of a clinical environment.
