What is Pet Bereavement Counselling?

Pet bereavement counselling provides emotional support to individuals coping with the loss of a beloved animal companion. Pets are often family members, and their loss can trigger grief similar to losing a close relative. Counselling offers a safe space to process that grief.

Many people feel their grief over a pet is misunderstood or minimised. A specialised service acknowledges that bond and helps individuals:

• Process grief and emotional pain
• Navigate feelings of guilt or regret
• Support adults after a pet’s death
• Prepare for euthanasia decisions
• Adjust to life without their companion animal

What my service offers:

One-to-One Counselling

Private sessions (online or in person) focused on emotional support.

Pre-Loss Support

Helping owners prepare for difficult decisions such as euthanasia and anticipatory grief.

Memorial and Closure Guidance

Helping clients create rituals or memories to honour their pet.

Who Can Benefit

• Individuals grieving the death of a pet
• People who had to make euthanasia decisions
• Veterinary professionals experiencing compassion fatigue
