Sometimes the emotional pain experienced with pet loss can feel overwhelming and it might be difficult to share this pain with friends or family members, who perhaps don’t fully understand our heartache. The words people use may feel insensitive and make us feel worse.

Working as a veterinary surgeon for twenty five years, I understand the strength of the bond that exists between pet and owner and also have much personal experience of the distress of losing a pet.

Maybe you are feeling angry or guilty and are struggling to come to terms with the loss. Losing a beloved companion may trigger a number of complex and harrowing emotions. I will listen with kindness and empathy, helping you to understand and accept your experience in order to move on, whilst honouring the special relationship with your pet.
