I am a Psychotherapist, Counsellor, Life Coach and Author with over 13 years of experience in person-centred care and support. I started my journey to become a therapist when I lost my beloved dog. I found there wasn’t a lot of support or understanding when I attended my own grief counselling. I almost felt judged for grieving an animal and not a human. I didn’t want others to feel this way and as a life-long animal lover, I was determined to provide the care and support that I didn’t get to others going through pet loss.

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

What my clients say about working with me

We found Elaine’s services after we tragically lost our puppy. We were devastated after her loss and knew we needed to talk to someone to work through our grief and there aren’t many services out there. When we contacted Elaine, we knew she was a perfect fit to help us get through this. From our initial meeting Elaine’s knowledge and understanding of losing a pet was a massive help and comfort as we navigated our way through the weeks and months after losing our dog.

Elaine was able to guide us and help us understand all our feelings and thoughts and provided excellent insight for us. With each session we progressed to a place where we felt ready to welcome another puppy into our lives and start a new chapter in our lives.

We would highly recommend Elaine for anyone who needs help after losing a pet. If you are looking for a safe space with someone who truly understands what you are going through and how to help you process your loss, we recommend that you get in touch with her as we will always be extremely grateful for how she helped us. 

My Approach

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 am an animal lover and have been rescuing animals for over 10 years. It doesn’t matter what species of animal you are grieving, I am here to support you through that loss.

My service is vegetarian and vegan friendly and is open to anyone who is grieving an animal. Those working with animals as a profession or sanctuary volunteers are all welcome.

I also own and operate The Psychotherapeutic Coach where I work with anxiety, imposter syndrome, self-esteem and many other issues.

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.
