Elm Pet Bereavement Counselling

I stumbled across this picture and it really resonated. Grief for whatever reason has no time limit and nor should it.
Grief, as with all deep emotions, is unique to the individual..
Anyone who feels they need to 'get through' grief or 'just get on with it' are, in all likelihood, suppressing that emotion.
Grief and loss, whatever the reason, needs to be heard and felt. Grieving is hard work and there are no shortcuts.
If you are struggling with your grief please get in touch. Counselling can help. I offer a safe, non judgemental space for you to explore that grief and loss, whether recent or not, and whatever else it may have triggered.
Please get in touch. I am here to sit with you in this journey. Confidentially and with empathy and understanding.

My name is Erica and I specialise in pet bereavement counselling. I particularly focus on addressing the often-overlooked grief that comes with pet loss. This grief can be devalued by family, friends, work & society which triggers shame &/or secrecy.

Pets provide solace, support and sometimes unconditional love. Yet, when they die, much of our grief remains unspoken

This is so important to remember. The goodbyes are incredibly hard but remember all the love you have them & they you.

As a pet lover and owner, and therefore, of course, a human who has lost a pet, I can really identify with the grief at the loss of our pets and the grief/fear at the thought of it.

I also have experienced the mixed support of others who don't necessarily understand the loss of such a unique relationship. No matter what the pet, however big or small, the loss is real. I understand this grief and pet bereavement counselling can really help. Please contact me if you feel this support can help.

It doesn't matter when the loss happened or even if the loss hasn't happened yet, pet bereavement counselling can really help.

Sessions can be face to face or via zoom.
