By my Side (Pet Loss Counselling)

Services

About

Vicky provides gentle refuge for hearts carrying one of the quietest, yet deepest kinds of pain. Existing in that tender space where love for an animal companion doesn’t simply end, but transforms—often leaving behind confusion, longing, and a profound sense of absence. More than counselling; she recognises that the bond between a person and their pet is rich with daily rituals, unconditional love, and shared life moments that others don’t always fully see. In her presence, clients don’t have to justify their grief or minimise it—they’re met with warmth, validation, and compassion. Here you will find a safe place where stories can be told, tears can fall freely, and memories are honoured rather than hurried along. Vicky helps navigate the complex emotions of loss—whether it’s guilt, loneliness, or even relief—guiding all clients gently toward healing at their own pace. There’s no pressure, only space to process, remember, and eventually find a new way to carry love forward. By my Side (Pet Loss Counselling) is about connection: helping people feel less alone in their grief, and reminding them that the love they shared with their pet is meaningful, lasting, and worthy of being held with care.
