Being Herd
Building Resilience through Regulation

I am Maria Olarte and this, my private practice ‘Being Herd’ is the culmination of many years hard work, study and passionate belief in empowering my clients on their journeys and giving them skills they can practice every day and add to their toolboxes.

I offer trauma trained, nature assisted emotional regulation training and EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique)as one to one sessions, these are all onsite, a combination of some room based work and then, weather permitting, outside into the 20 acre sanctuary in West Wales, please see Sanctuary page for more details on this fabulous venue.

I spent years studying counselling, psychotherapy, trauma therapy, equine facilitated therapy and nature assisted therapy my practice has evolved into an integrative holistic way of working with clients within nature but not taking from nature. For me it’s about helping people find their connections to themselves and the land by offering tools to aid self-regulation, emotional regulation and building internal resilience and strength.

I am fully insured and a member of the National Council of Integrative Psychotherapists.
