Hold Me Tight® with Horses is a two-day psychotherapeutic couples group that combines Emotionally Focused Therapy with gentle horse-assisted activities in a peaceful farm setting.

Couples are supported in slowing down, noticing the patterns they get caught in, and finding new ways to reach for each other with more clarity and care. The horses are not there to judge or fix anything — they help create space for presence, awareness, and connection.

Because this is a psychotherapeutic group, it may be covered under your extended health benefits plan. The group is currently open to residents of Ontario, with some exceptions that may apply.

This weekend may be a good fit for couples who love each other but keep missing each other in the same painful cycle.

Are you noticing a slow drift in your relationships — less listening, more silence, or the same heated cycle no matter how hard you try?

These are common reasons people reach out for support: communication breakdown, repeated conflict, and feeling stuck in patterns that are hard to change alone.

At Matatoa Counselling, I use Emotionally Focused Therapy to help individuals, couples, and families slow things down, understand the pattern underneath the conflict, and begin having hard conversations with more care.

Couples therapy can support secure connection. Family therapy can offer a wider perspective when patterns involve children or extended family. Group therapy can provide shared learning and support alongside others on a similar path.

At Matatoa Counselling, I witness quiet moments of change every day.

A couple slowing down enough to truly hear each other.
A steady breath beside a horse.
A moment of tension beginning to ease.

In my Sunderland, Ontario setting, I offer a safe and supportive space for couples, individuals, and families to explore healing, connection, and emotional regulation.

With over 20 years of experience, I use compassionate, experiential therapy, with optional horse-assisted support when appropriate, to help clients better understand themselves, their relationships, and the patterns they may feel stuck in.

Support is available when you are ready.

At Matatoa Counselling, support begins with a warm initial consultation so we can understand what is happening and what kind of care may fit best.

From there, individuals, couples, and families may move into emotion-focused sessions that help slow the pattern down and make space for clearer connection, understanding, and communication.

When appropriate, equine or nature-based therapy may also be offered as part of the process. This can support slowing down, noticing more, and staying present in a different kind of setting.

Natasha oversees your care from intake to follow-up, so you have continuity, experienced support, and a clear path forward.

Couples therapy, family therapy, virtual sessions, and optional equine or nature-based support are available through Matatoa Counselling.

At the heart of EFT is attachment — we’re wired for connection.
When we feel emotionally disconnected, it can signal danger and trigger fight-or-flight.
If both partners are in that state, it becomes a self-fulfilling cycle.
EFT helps couples understand these reactions and respond with care instead of defensiveness.
