If so, you may be experiencing painful emotions which others don't seem to understand. It may help to talk to someone who understands the special bond we have with our pets and animals and how difficult it can be to come to terms with our loss.

It is understandable that we often experience a complex variety of emotions such as shock, sadness, guilt and even anger when a pet dies. I have been an animal lover all my life and have had many different pets and animals, from rabbits to horses! I know how much they can mean to us. As a fully qualified counsellor and Member of British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy, I can offer you the time and space to talk about your pet in a quiet and confidential environment. Your experience will be taken seriously and we will work together to help you come to terms with your loss.
