Pet Grief Counselling

Support for Navigating the Loss of a Beloved Pet

Losing a pet is one of life’s most heart-wrenching experiences. Our pets are our confidantes, our companions and our family members.

The heartbreak of saying goodbye can leave a void that feels impossible to fill. I understand the unique and profound grief that accompanies the loss of a pet, having suffered it myself.

My Pet Grief Counselling service is here to provide the compassionate support you need during this difficult time.

Understanding Pet Grief

Grieving the loss of a pet is a deeply personal journey. The sadness, loneliness and even anger you might be feeling are all valid emotions. It’s important to honour these feelings and acknowledge the significant bond you shared with your furry friend.

Pet grief is real and deserves acknowledgment and care.

My Approach

My counselling approach is designed to offer you a safe and empathetic space to express and process your emotions. With personalised one-on-one sessions, we will explore your grief journey together, addressing the unique aspects of your relationship with your pet and finding ways to honour their memory while moving forward.

How can Pet Grief Counselling help?

Navigating pet loss alone can be overwhelming. Pet grief counselling can help you:

  • Validate Your Experience: Understanding that your grief is normal and worthy of support
  • Find Healing: Developing healthy ways to cope with your emotions
  • Create Meaning: Finding ways to celebrate your pet’s life and contributions to your own

Why Choose Me 

Hi, I’m Elaine.

I am a qualified Psychotherapist, Counsellor, Life Coach and Author with over 13 years of experience in person-centred care and career guidance. I’m an animal lover; my animals are my world and sadly I’ve experienced the heartbreak that accompanies loving animals so much.  I know too well the pain and often the loneliness associated with pet grief.

In fact, pet grief was one of the reasons I decided to become a therapist.  I couldn’t find the understanding and care I needed with my grief and didn’t want others to feel the same way.

I have trained and qualified in various areas, including Psychotherapy, Counselling (masters level), Coaching, Healing, Business, Linguistics, Addiction, Reiki, Transpersonal Therapy and Neuro-Diversity, to best serve my clients.

Anxiety in Ireland

I carry out all of my sessions and work with the greatest empathy, integrity and positive regard for all of my clients using evidence-based knowledge and my skill set from my training and experience.  I utilise elements of Humanistic, CBT and Solution Focused therapies in my work.

I want to make sure that I’m the right fit for you and that’s why I offer a FREE consultation before we start working together.

Joe
"I completed a Chakra Healing and Distant Reiki course of sessions with Elaine. It was the most enjoyable experience. I felt very grounded during and after each session. It reduced my stress levels which helped improve my sleep. Elaine has a lovely speaking voice which is very soothing and calming. This enhanced the sessions for me."

  • Taking care of yourself when the world is a sh*tshow. Yes, I said it, I used the word sh**tshow. It seemed the most appropriate term. So why are we collectively feeling this way? Many of us are grieving how we thought the world operated. We are grieving for people we’ve never met as we watch their lives be taken or destroyed. We are in shock, disbelief & fear. We are fed up of fake stories & misinformation shaping society. We are in fear for our home & worrying about climate disaster. We are distraught at the suffering taking place in front of us. Many of us are feeling guilty, thinking we’re not doing enough which is coupled with anger at our leaders. All of this is valid & I’m feeling all of it too. But it gets overwhelming, doesn’t it? Maybe you often find yourself crying or suffering from anxiety. Maybe you feel you’re becoming depressed & that you can’t find joy in things anymore. So what can we do? Well, I wish I had a definitive answer that could fix all of it but I don’t. I can, however, offer you some tips to help your wellbeing: 1.Limit media consumption:I know it’s important to stay informed, but constant exposure to news can be overwhelming. Take breaks when needed. 2.Social media:You really need to limit your consumption. I know it is easy to get sucked into doom scrolling but it will not help the situation & will only make you feel worse. 3.Stay connected:Sharing your feelings with friends or family or indeed engaging with like-minded activists, advocates or community groups can help. 4.Focus on what you can control:I know this one is easier said than done but while you can’t control the world, you can try to control your actions & responses. Focus on what you can do. 5.Engage in self-care:Try to make time for activities that bring you joy & relaxation. 6.Talk to a professional: It doesn’t have to be me but share your feelings with a professional, particularly if they are overwhelming. Your feelings are valid & life is tough right now. Take of yourself because you matter. #psychotherapist #selfcare
  • As we approach the new year, you are about to be bombarded with ads telling you why you need to spend your hard money on their products to be better, richer, thinner, more productive etc. Try to block all of it out and don’t let capitalists make money off your insecurities. Only make changes if you want to do something for you. You’re great as you are. #psychotherapist #healing #counselling

𝗪𝐡𝐲 𝐀𝐈 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐬𝐭⁣ ⁣ Whether you’re a fan of it or not, AI is becoming more embedded in our lives. For the record, I don’t use AI in my business (nor any other aspect of my life). ⁣ ⁣ AI can never replicate therapy.⁣ ⁣ Here are some of the reasons:⁣ ⁣ 𝟑 𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐬⁣ ⁣There are 3 core principles that many of us therapists follow as put forward by Carl Rogers: 𝘦𝘮𝘱𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘺, 𝘶𝘯𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘨𝘢𝘳𝘥 and 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘨𝘳𝘶𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦. This essentially means that as your therapist, I do not judge you, I see your authentic self and I view you in the best light and I am sincere and genuine with you. This is something a machine or program cannot do.⁣ ⁣ 𝐉𝐮𝐧𝐠’𝐬 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰⁣ ⁣Carl Jung believed that a transformative process takes place in therapy between both the therapist and client, almost like alchemy.

Taking care of yourself when the world is a sh*tshow. Yes, I said it, I used the word sh**tshow. It seemed the most appropriate term. So why are we collectively feeling this way? Many of us are grieving how we thought the world operated. We are grieving for people we’ve never met as we watch their lives be taken or destroyed. We are in shock, disbelief & fear. We are fed up of fake stories & misinformation shaping society. We are in fear for our home & worrying about climate disaster. We are distraught at the suffering taking place in front of us. Many of us are feeling guilty, thinking we’re not doing enough which is coupled with anger at our leaders. All of this is valid & I’m feeling all of it too. But it gets overwhelming, doesn’t it? Maybe you often find yourself crying or suffering from anxiety. Maybe you feel you’re becoming depressed & that you can’t find joy in things anymore. So what can we do? Well, I wish I had a definitive answer that could fix all of it but I don’t. I can, however, offer you some tips to help your wellbeing: 1.Limit media consumption:I know it’s important to stay informed, but constant exposure to news can be overwhelming. Take breaks when needed. 2.Social media:You really need to limit your consumption. I know it is easy to get sucked into doom scrolling but it will not help the situation & will only make you feel worse. 3.Stay connected:Sharing your feelings with friends or family or indeed engaging with like-minded activists, advocates or community groups can help. 4.Focus on what you can control:I know this one is easier said than done but while you can’t control the world, you can try to control your actions & responses. Focus on what you can do. 5.Engage in self-care:Try to make time for activities that bring you joy & relaxation. 6.Talk to a professional: It doesn’t have to be me but share your feelings with a professional, particularly if they are overwhelming. Your feelings are valid & life is tough right now. Take of yourself because you matter. #psychotherapist #selfcare

As we approach the new year, you are about to be bombarded with ads telling you why you need to spend your hard money on their products to be better, richer, thinner, more productive etc. Try to block all of it out and don’t let capitalists make money off your insecurities. Only make changes if you want to do something for you. You’re great as you are. #psychotherapist #healing #counselling
