evidence based counselling
and the intuition of horses.

We honour and respect our connection to the earth and every living thing on it.

Do you have an NDIS plan?

You may have a psychosocial recovery plan. We can work with you to develop therapy sessions that align with your plan and support you on your recovery journey. Sessions are personalised to meet individual client needs.




Hello, I'm Nadine
I'm owner operator at Solace. I hold a CHC51015 Diploma of Counselling and an Equine Assisted Mental Health Practitioner certificate. I'm registered with the Australia Counselling Association.
In addition to providing services at Solace, I have worked part-time as a Play Based Therapist with neurodiverse children. I have facilitated an Equine Assisted Mental Wellness program for NDIS and community funded participants for a not for profit organisation. I've previously worked as a Mental Health Support Worker for NDIS clients with complex mental health needs and have many years working in the field of Adult Learning and Development.

Solace is registered as an official (NDIS) provider with the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission (NDIS Commission).
Horses have been my Solace since early childhood, when I struggled with some cognitive processing issues that made it difficult for me to learn in a classroom setting. Spending time with horses helped me to improve my fine and gross motor skills and increased my capacity for following verbal direction and instruction. I went on to train as a Horse Riding Instructor and my passion for horses and supporting others has led me here…to Solace Equine Assisted Therapy.
