It’s a sad fact that the lives of our animals are so much shorter than ours and having an animal in your life means at some point, you’ll have to deal with their loss.

Knowing HOW your animal feels physically is vitally important to ensuring you make ‘that decision’ at the right time. It’s comforting to know you’ve made your elderly animal as comfortable as possible in their last days.

It also gives you a chance to ask your animal what they need as they prepare to transition. Do they want all their favourite foods or have they gone off their food?

Do they want to be taken to their favourite place before they go?

Are they okay to have ‘help’ from a vet, or would they prefer to die naturally (if possible)

And more importantly, how do they feel about their impending passing? What do they need from you before, during, and after they transition 

This session can also be used to speak to the other animals in the household AFTER the transitioning animal has passed.

Animal Transition Session Formats

There are TWO formats – the only difference is what happens AFTER I speak to your animal. 

Email Feedback

If you’d just like a record of the session and are happy to ask any clarifying questions via email, this is the option for you.

“One aspect I particularly appreciated about Colleen’s service was the comprehensive write-up she provided after the session. This eliminated the need for me to frantically take notes while trying to absorb the information being relayed. I find myself frequently revisiting the write-up to further absorb and reflect upon the insights she shared.”   

Video Chat Feedback

The video chat is much more detailed because, as I relate the session back to you, you get to hear inflections in my voice as I describe things, you’ll hear (and see) animated descriptions of scenarios, and you can ask clarifying questions on the spot, leading to a much more vivid and detailed session.

The session lasts approximately 60 minutes. You receive the full transcript document after the chat. 

Please note, there is currently a 2-week waiting list.
HOWEVER, this can be flexible if your animal’s transition is close. Please contact me for details

If you think you’d have trouble coming up with questions to ask, here are some examples.

The Readings

You have a selection of choices depending on the depth of the feedback you require.

Premium (Video feedback option)   145€
The ‘Premium Video’ reading includes a Reiki health scan to ask the animal about how it feels physically, and if it’s in pain or discomfort. You get 17 questions in total – 12 of your own questions plus the 5 that I ask as standard.

Upon completion of the communication session, you and I have a video conference to discuss the results of the reading which means you get not only the transcript of the communication session I had with your animal, but also a more detailed (and animated) account of the session as we go through it together during the video conference.

You can ask questions as we go or ask me to explain things in more detail.

Standard (Email feedback option)   95€
The ‘Standard Email’ reading includes a Reiki health scan to ask the animal about how it feels physically, and if it’s in pain or discomfort. You get 17 questions in total – 12 of your own questions plus the 5 that I ask as standard.

Upon completion of the communication session, I email you the transcript of the reading and you’re welcome to ask any clarifying questions via email.

Mini (Email feedback option)   50€
The ‘Mini’ reading  includes a Reiki health scan to ask the animal about how it feels physically, and if it’s in pain or discomfort. You get 10 questions in total – 5 of your own plus the 5 I ask as standard.

This reading is best used as a follow-up reading, as quite often 5 questions isn’t sufficient detail for a ‘first-time’ reading. Consider the ‘Standard’ or ‘Premium’ reading for first time readings.

Fast Track   30€
Please note, there is currently a 2-week waiting list so if you require your readings WITHIN this time, they will incur a 30€ surcharge PER reading.

Pet Bereavement Counselling

Grief in our lives is always hard to deal with and quite often people feel that the loss of an animal hits them harder than losing people.

I know personally, and recommend, Helen Bell, a registered counsellor who has had her own animals and has therefore experienced both the joy and loss of being an animal guardian

Helen is a ‘person-centered’ counsellor and registered member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists. She offers support to adults via online, phone, or in-person sessions for local clients. Her expertise encompasses various challenges including anxiety, low self-esteem, life transitions, relationship and work-related issues, bereavement, and grief. Additionally, she specializes in assisting clients coping with the loss, or anticipated loss, of their beloved pet companions.

She discovered that finding support in this area was often challenging, leaving so many people to silently bear their grief, overlooked and unacknowledged. The loss of a pet can catch us off guard, leaving us struggling with unexpected grief.

She aims to provide a safe space for you to express your emotions, where your loss is acknowledged and validated. She offers a free initial informal chat online to ensure that the client/counsellor relationship is a good fit.

If you would like to contact her and find out more, visit her website site at www.karunatalkingtherapy.co.uk

“Colleen has an amazing gift of communicating with animals. I admit that I was sceptical at first. But I saw Colleen’s posts and contacted her at the most heartbreaking time when my daughter’s beloved dog, Boss, was deteriorating with doggy dementia. Colleen spoke to Boss and got so many details right – from how scared he was when my daughter first found him as a stray, to his favourite place being beside the canal…”
