We support all those who are struggling with the loss, or expected loss of their companion animal. Kindred Pet Grief and Loss offers a PACFA accredited, clinical counselling service specializing in attachment and grief counselling within the context of the human-animal bond. The bonds we share with our companion animals are unique, fulfilling and imbued with personal meaning and connection. We are blessed with their living and loving presence, so it goes without saying that we deeply grieve when this relationship changes through loss. We may also find ourselves in the unenviable position of deciding if our companions are suffering too greatly to maintain a quality of life. Weather you have lost an animal companion or are struggling with difficult questions about compassionately euthanising a loved one in the future, Kindred Pet Grief and Loss is here to support you. Kindred offers a safe and informed space where you can explore the difficult experiences and questions that arise, openly and honestly, allowing your grief to move forward in such a way as to honour the memory of your beloved companion animals. We understand that we are not only working with a unique individual, with their own story of loss, but with the memory and story of a unique animal companion. For some, a pet is an animal to share our space with. For many of us, though, a pet is a best friend, a companion, a family member, a trusted confidant, a source of love, joy, stability, and a supportive and caring figure in our lives. Your experience of loss is valid, warranting time, space, and consideration to process. If you feel overwhelmed or stuck in your grief, contact Kindred and have a chat.
