WELCOME TO GOOD GRIEF THERAPY

Losing a beloved pet is like losing a piece of your heart. I know this because I’ve lived it too. Animals have been a constant in my life — companions, teachers, and family. Having worked closely with animals and cared deeply for them, I’ve experienced the profound grief that comes with saying goodbye to a cherished friend.​

At Good Grief Therapy, I provide a compassionate and understanding space for pet parents to share their stories, navigate their grief, and honour the special bond they shared with their animal. Whether your pet was a loyal companion, a skilled working animal like a police dog, or a trusted therapy partner, I am here to support you through your journey of loss.​

I grew up in the UK surrounded by a variety of pets — dogs, cats, rats, budgies, and cockatiels — each of them unique and special in their own way. Eighteen years ago, I made the move to Australia and adapted to life on a farm, where I now care for working dogs who love the comfort of the sofa, and three horses who work with me in providing Equine Assisted Therapy.​ Recently, I faced the heartbreaking loss of my "heart horse," Harry,  who was euthanised due to severe pain and a reduced quality of life. This was an incredibly difficult decision, and one that underscores the importance of support during such a loss.

Grieving the loss of a pet, especially one so close to your heart, can be overwhelming, and I am here to help those experiencing similar pain navigate their grief process.​In my ongoing commitment to professional growth, I have completed a Pet Loss Grief Counselling Professional Certificate, and I am a registered member of the Australian Counselling Association.​
