Candesa is a qualified Professional Counsellor and experienced Equine Assisted Psychotherapy Practitioner who provides counselling services and educational/training programs for individuals, couples, families, groups and teams at HorseAccord. Equine Assisted Therapy offers an engaging way for people to experience growth and change. Facilitated interactions with the horses provides a 'safe challenge' for people to be in relationship and to explore feelings, behaviours, and patterns in a new but challenging way. All activities are ground-based. No horse riding is involved, and no previous experience is required. Candesa is also experienced in providing office-based counselling services using integrated and evidence-based approaches and is a registered NDIS Provider. Her experience encompasses working with adults, teens, and children over 8 years old to address a range of issues including depression, anxiety, stress management, anger management, workplace, addictions, couple counselling, family therapy, domestic violence, trauma, grief and loss, suicide intervention, and eating disorders. HorseAccord is situated on a rural 20-acre property in Stapylton, just south of Brisbane (www.horseaccord.com.au). Candesa practices mindfulness and liberty work with horses to maintain her own sense of balance. She loves her life of being with horses and creating opportunities for others to benefit from their wisdom.
