Supporting Veterinary Teams

Veterinary professionals face a unique set of emotional, ethical, and interpersonal challenges — often under high pressure and with limited resources. I offer workshops designed specifically for those working in veterinary medicine, with a focus on practical, sustainable tools that support both client care and staff wellbeing.

Topics can include:

  • Building a personal resource toolkit for high-stress moments
  • Communicating with distressed or grieving animal guardians
  • Navigating difficult financial conversations with compassion
  • Managing ethical dilemmas within a spectrum of care
  • Supporting staff retention and team cohesion
  • Creating space for self-care and emotional regulation

These workshops are trauma-informed, grounded in relational and somatic principles, and tailored to the specific needs of your practice or organisation.

  • Recognising early signs of stress and burnout
  • Resetting the nervous system after high-stress moments
