Aspire Equestrian & Hypnotherapy
For horse riders, by horse riders
Confident Horses, Confident Riders
Aspire Equestrian & Hypnotherapy is the culmination of a life-long obsession with horses.
Our focus is horse and rider confidence and performance using Sports Psychology, Hypnotherapy, Mindset Coaching, Horsemanship and Performance Coaching. We are passionate about helping riders re-discover their love of this amazing sport, by addressing the fears, anxiety, doubts and negativity that can be so distressing and draining, and helping people achieve a positive mindset for riding success.
We want riders to gain skills and confidence, to regain trust in their horses and themselves and a sense of control, so they can overcome fear and dare to dream big! We can help set personally meaningful riding goals and help you achieve them – whether that is to ride confidently, to canter in open spaces, to go on beach rides or to pull out peak performances in competition. We also want our equine partners and friends to be relaxed, happy and confident in their work, to form deep and trusting partnerships with us through horsemanship skills.
A positive, confident and focused mindset is fundamental to overcoming fear, dealing skilfully with competition nerves, enjoying horses and horse riding more, riding to our true abilities and being present with horses so we can connect with them meaningfully. Aspire Equestrian & Hypnotherapy brings that focus into all our work, in partnership with great trainers and coaches, so that our clients can get the absolute best from themselves and their horses and horse riding.

Rider Hypnotherapy
If you’re struggling with riding anxiety, would like to address those self-limiting beliefs that are holding you back, or would like to unlock your peak level of performance at competitions, hypnotherapy could be the solution.
Combining psychological, motivational, attentional and relaxation approaches, sports hypnosis dramatically boosts your self-belief, confidence, focus, and present moment awareness, whilst deeply embedding sports therapy strategies to increase a persons’ trust in themselves.
