About Naomi
Welcome, I am Naomi, an author and the Clinical Director and Senior Psychologist of Harnessing Wellness Psychology. I believe my work as psychologist is a privilege. Building rapport with clients is the basis of the therapeutic process and without it harnessing wellness may be difficult. Since 2010, I have been working with horses in equine assisted psychology. The therapy horses and ponies I work with have become part of my journey and learning.
The children’s books I have written are based on the real life therapy horses and ponies, Trigger, Happy, Bailey, Bob and George and their unique characters. The herd tell their story of mental health and how through their journey of psychological education and struggles, herd and self-care strategies emerge for all now and into the future.
Hoofprints for Setting up an Equine Assisted Therapy Clinic (due out late 2020) is ‘how to guide’ for equine assisted therapy, based on my learning and professional practise, over the last ten years. It has been a pleasure to bring these books to life, I do hope you enjoy them.
