PET LOSS GRIEF SPECIALIST
Pet Loss.
This person understands my loss.
Pet loss can carry a depth of grief that is difficult to explain, particularly when the people around you do not fully understand why it hurts so much.
This is a space where you do not have to minimise what your animal meant to you, justify your grief or rush yourself through it. You can talk honestly about the fear, anger, guilt, confusion and love that come with losing a much-loved companion, and be met without judgement.
Pet Loss
Grief Specialist.
My role is not to take grief away. It is to give you somewhere safe to put some of what you are carrying.
I offer a calm, non-judgemental space where you can talk through the thoughts and emotions that may be difficult to say elsewhere. Sometimes that means guilt. Sometimes anger. Sometimes replaying what happened or questioning the decisions you made.
My approach is gentle and regulation-based, drawing on emotional support, EFT tapping, meditation, CBT-informed techniques and NLP to help reduce overwhelm and create enough space for you to think and feel more clearly.
I am particularly drawn to supporting people who are finding themselves stuck in the questions around a loss, struggling with guilt or second-guessing, or needing somewhere to talk openly in the weeks and months afterwards.

Anticipatory Grief
When the loss has not happened yet, grief can already be present.
An ageing pet, a serious diagnosis or the knowledge that time may be limited can bring fear, anxiety and constant anticipation. It can become so overwhelming that it is difficult to stay present for the time you still have together.
This is where I can help you slow some of that anxiety down. Through conversation, emotional support, EFT tapping and other practical tools, we can work with the fear and overwhelm so that you can feel more grounded, ask the questions you need to ask and stay connected to your animal while they are still here.
We can also talk through practical preparation, what you may want to discuss with your vet, and the decisions that may be ahead, without rushing you towards an answer.
Euthanasia Decision Support
Few decisions carry as much love and doubt at the same time.
People often worry about getting the timing wrong, acting too soon, waiting too long, or living afterwards with the question of whether they made the right choice.
I can offer a space to talk through those fears, clarify what matters most to you and your animal, and help you prepare for conversations with your vet. We can also look at the practical side of what needs to be planned so that the decision feels less chaotic and overwhelming.
I will not tell you when euthanasia is the right decision or replace veterinary advice. My role is to help you feel more supported, more informed and less alone while you work through it.
Who this support is for
This support is best suited to people who are able to talk about their grief and want space to process what they are carrying, whether that is fear before a loss, guilt afterwards, difficult decisions or grief that is still present weeks or months later.
It is not intended as crisis support or specialist trauma treatment. If someone is in acute psychological distress, unable to function safely, or experiencing overwhelming traumatic symptoms, more specialised mental health support may be appropriate.

Pet Loss Grief Advocacy.
Pet loss grief deserves to be recognised.
Losing an animal can mean losing a family member, a daily companion, a source of comfort, routine and belonging. Yet people are still often made to feel that they should recover quickly, keep the grief private or be embarrassed by how deeply they are affected.
I want to contribute to a culture where pet loss is taken seriously, where people are given permission to grieve without shame, and where the bond between a person and an animal is recognised for what it is.
Grief is not something to rush. Love does not become less significant simply because the one we lost had fur, feathers or scales.
Tails of Tribute.
Tails of Tribute began with my sister.
When Deborah lost Chloe, I wanted to find a way to help her through the grief, to hold on to the life they had shared and to give that loss somewhere to belong. What began as a simple wish to create something meaningful in Chloe’s memory became the first thread of Tails of Tribute.
From there, it grew into a place where other people could honour the animals they had loved too, through stories, tributes and remembrance, while also finding support, understanding and reassurance after loss.
At its heart, Tails of Tribute is still about the same thing it was at the beginning: recognising that these relationships matter, that the loss of an animal can leave a profound space in our lives, and that their stories deserve to be remembered.
