Compassionate Counselling for the Veterinary Community
Understanding the Pain of Losing a Pet
Sometimes the emotional pain experienced can feel overwhelming and it might be difficult to share this pain with friends or family members, who perhaps don’t quite understand our heartache. The words people use may feel insensitive and make us feel worse.
Maybe you are feeling angry or guilty and are struggling to come to terms with the loss. As an experienced veterinary surgeon I understand the strength of the bond that exists between a pet and owner, and have personal experience of how distressing losing a pet can feel.
Compassionate Support for Pet Bereavement
I have volunteered for the Blue Cross Pet Loss Support Service and am a member of the Association of Pet Bereavement Counsellors. I offer support for anyone who is grieving the loss of an animal either through death, theft, loss or re-homing. If you are facing the very difficult decision to say goodbye, I can support you as you navigate this journey and afterwards.
