Hi, I'm Angela and I am the founder and key therapist of Stable Strength. My lifelong passion for horses and helping people to overcome adversity and achieve their personal best has led me to creating Stable Strength Equine Assisted Therapy. Utilising the human relationship with horses assists me to deliver the concepts of therapy in a way that is easy for participants to understand and apply. My aim is to help my clients connect with their personal values and overcome their barriers to achieving their own personal goals.
