Have you ever lost a faithful animal companion? Maybe they were a beloved family pet? Perhaps you work with animals, you might be a vet or a pet groomer and feel impacted when those animals pass away. This episode with Renee, a Pet Loss Counsellor is for you!
In today’s episode Renee shares her own story of losing her dog Buckley. We discuss why it is so important for people to know that coming to therapy for pet loss is valid and needed. We also talk about some of the misconceptions people have about grief and in particular pet grief.

Her passion for this much needed support grew immensely after losing her beloved Boxer Buckley to a terminal illness at the young age of 5 and a half. Having always had a keen interest in grief and loss, it was a natural progression for her to take her qualification and direct it to helping the wider community with what can be one of the most difficult losses you will ever go through in your lifetime.
