Welcome

At Whispering Hooves Therapy, we believe every story deserves to be heard, honored, and re-authored with dignity. We offer both online narrative counselling and in-person sessions, creating flexible ways to connect. Rooted in the rhythms of rural life and the gentle presence of animals, our practice provides a safe space for healing, growth, and connection through equine-assisted therapy.

About Istelle Mostert
Founded by Istelle Mostert, an Equine-Assisted Therapist and Narrative Counsellor, Whispering Hooves blends the authenticity of farm life with the transformative power of storytelling. With years of experience in language teaching, trauma-informed facilitation, and animal connection, Istelle brings warmth, creativity, and deep empathy to every session.
Our Approach
We use metaphor, humor, and rural imagery to make therapy accessible and engaging. Whether through storytelling, movement, or connection with animals, our sessions are designed to affirm identity, nurture resilience, and inspire hope.
