About Us
Finding Clarity is a trauma-informed service, providing a holistic approach to counselling through the support of our qualified counsellors, our herd and support animals. Our goal is to support you as you start your journey to healing, by providing a safe space for all your parts, your story and all of you.
OUR STORY
Finding Clarity Equine Assisted Therapy is more than a counselling service—it's the embodiment of a personal healing journey that spans both human and animal connection.
Founded in 2021 by Brittany Doyle, Finding Clarity was born out of Brittany's own experience of overcoming trauma and navigating life’s darkest moments. As a young adult, Brittany found herself at a crossroads in life, seeking solace in her lifelong dream of owning a horse. At 18, she purchased a horse—a nameless creature who, much like herself, carried deep emotional scars.
This horse, whom Brittany later named Clarity, became an unlikely companion in her healing process. Together, they faced challenges, fears, and personal growth that shifted Brittany’s outlook on the world and her understanding of herself. Through this transformative bond, Brittany realised the extraordinary power that horses have in guiding people to confront their past, redefine relationships, and reconnect with themselves. It was through this journey alongside Clarity, that Brittany recognised the profound healing potential of Equine Assisted Therapy, sparking the dream of creating Finding Clarity Equine Assisted Therapy.
Brittany’s vision for the practice is to offer people a place of safety, authenticity, and growth—where they can explore their struggles and reclaim their lives through the unique support of horses and other therapeutic animals.
​
At Finding Clarity, we provide a space where individuals, families, and teams can work through mental health challenges, trauma, addiction, and emotional regulation, all while being guided by the steady and grounding presence of our herd. Our service is built on a foundation of personal experience, empathy, and the deep belief that true healing comes from connection.
OUR MISSION
At Finding Clarity Equine Assisted Therapy, our mission is to provide accessible and compassionate therapeutic services to individuals, families, and teams across the Northern Rivers. We integrate traditional counselling practices with innovative therapies like Equine Assisted Therapy, EMDR, Mindfulness, and Somatic Experience, cultivating an environment where healing and growth can take place. We specialize in supporting men, women, and children who are facing challenges such as trauma, mental health struggles, addiction, emotional regulation difficulties, and decision-making.
​
Our mission is not just about healing; it’s about empowering individuals with the tools and strategies to regulate their emotions, connect more deeply with themselves and others, and thrive in a complex world. By walking alongside our clients through their healing journey, we help them walk back home - within themselves.
​
As we continue to grow, we are committed to expanding our reach and support, ensuring that Finding Clarity becomes a place where every person can find their way back to clarity, purpose, and inner peace.
OUR VISION
Our vision is to be a leading force in the integration of equine-assisted therapy into the mental health and emotional well-being sectors. We aim to create a space where the healing power of horses can help individuals and communities heal, grow, and transform. At Finding Clarity, we are committed to:
-
Expanding Access: Ensuring that our services reach those who need them most, particularly in remote and underserved areas of the Northern Rivers.
-
Specialized Support for Families: We hope to expand our services to offer targeted support for families struggling with domestic violence, providing a safe, healing space where relationships can be rebuilt.
-
Inmate Rehabilitation: We aspire to create a unique program that supports both incarcerated individuals and rehabilitated horses through a mutual healing process. Our vision is to establish an equine-assisted rehabilitation program in Australian prisons, offering a chance for transformation on both sides of the fence.
As we grow, we hope to build a team of passionate, skilled professionals who share our dedication to helping individuals reconnect with their true selves and find clarity in the chaos of life. Our vision is one of healing, connection, and transformation—for both humans and animals alike.
