Understanding the problem behind the behaviour
As a clinical animal behaviourist, I offer kind, considered, science-led, positive reinforcement behaviour counselling for dogs and cats, working alongside your vet. I work online across the UK, with limited availability for home visits if you are in my locality.

Cats are my speciality.
Many behaviourists work mainly with dogs. Cats are my particular interest. They have unique needs and hide their stress, so problems are easily missed or misunderstood. I help you understand what your cat is telling you, unravel problematic behaviours and help you make changes that suit the way they prefer to live.
Problems I can help with include:
- Spraying and toileting problems
- Fear and anxiety
- Tension between cats in the same home
- Over-grooming and other signs of stress
- Behaving aggressively towards people
- Introducing newcomers to other resident cats
