OUR STORY
Finding Clarity Counselling & Equine Assisted Therapy is more than just a counselling service—it’s the embodiment of a personal healing journey rooted in the profound connection between humans and animals.
​
Founded in 2021 by Brittany Doyle, Finding Clarity was inspired by Brittany’s own experience of overcoming trauma and navigating some of life’s darkest moments. As a young adult at a crossroads, Brittany sought solace in her lifelong dream of owning a horse. At 18, she purchased a horse—a nameless soul who, like her, carried deep emotional scars. She later named the horse Clarity, and together, they began a transformative journey of healing. Through shared challenges, fears, and moments of growth, Brittany’s perspective on life and herself began to shift. It was through this powerful bond that she discovered the power of horses and their ability to guide people towards healing—helping them confront the past, redefine relationships, and reconnect with their inner selves.
​
This life-changing experience led Brittany to realise the immense potential of Equine Assisted Therapy. Finding Clarity was born from that revelation—created to share this unique path to healing with others. Brittany’s vision is to offer a safe, authentic, and nurturing space where individuals can explore their struggles, renew their minds and reclaim their lives, supported by the grounding presence of horses and other therapeutic animals.
​
At Finding Clarity, we support individuals, families, and teams as they navigate mental health challenges, trauma, addiction, and emotional regulation. Our practice is built on lived experience, empathy, and a deep belief that true healing is found through connection—not only with others, but also within the self. We believe in the power of spirit, the resilience of the human heart, and the importance of renewing the mind as part of the journey toward wholeness. With the steady, grounding presence of our herd, we offer a space where meaningful, lasting transformation can take root.
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 MISSION
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, curiosity, connection, and transformation—for both humans and animals alike.
