For Animal Guardians

A space for grief, love, and remembrance

Individual and group counselling for adults, children, and families navigating difficult and painful changes in their relationship with their pet:

🌿Final loss – death, euthanasia, disappearance.
🌿Anticipated loss – illness, accident, ageing, chronic condition.
🌿Involuntary separation – life changes, abandonment, divorce, relocation.

Grief is a unique process for each person. Grieving a pet is real and profound.These experiences often bring up earlier losses, inner conflicts, or unspoken emotions.

This is a space where you can express, feel, remember and honour. I am here to walk beside you – with acceptance and understanding – at every stage of loss or separation.

Key Elements of Counselling

🌿Ιntegrative and person-centred approach, tailored to each individual’s needs and process — grounded in safety, empathy, and respect.

🌿Verbal and creative non-verbal expression, using art materials (sand, clay, colour), drawing, storytelling and journaling, movement and body awareness, music, dramatization, guided imagery, breathwork and relaxation techniques.

🌿Nature-based sessions (walk & talk) available upon request — by the sea, in a quiet park, or on a mountain path. Nature grounds, soothes, and restores. Walking outdoors often brings greater clarity and ease in expression.

🌿Sessions available in person and/or online.

🌿Counselling available in English and Greek.

🌿Support is rooted in acceptance, empathy, and freedom of expression.

🌿You are not alone. I am here to walk this path with you, with care, understanding, and acceptance.
