Situated on a small farm and horse-riding establishment in Leigh on Sea Essex, our primary goal is to provide a blended alternative to mainstream education, for young people who are not attending school or are on a reduced timetable for a variety of different reasons.

We believe in the power of animals and nature to assist in helping people escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and deal with a variety of Mental Health issues.

We also offer a variety of different therapies to ensure our visitors have mental health boosting interaction, with our 4 legged friends. Click below to hear from the founder of Silverbirch Animal Therapy and our resident Equine Therapist.
