Veterinary Nurse Specialist in Behaviour, Qualified Clinical Animal Behaviourist & Trainer


Offering Behaviour & Training Support for Cats & Dogs - online across the UK (& beyond), & in person locally

​​​​Behaviour assessments, consultations & treatment (see Key Facts - Part 1 for criteria):


  • Cats: Initial 3-session cat behaviour package* (approx. 4 face-to-face hours): investment​ = £495


  • Dogs: Initial 3-session dog behaviour package* (approx. 4.25 face-to-face hours): investment = £555
    • ​Or: Initial 2-session dog behaviour package* (approx. 3.25 face-to-face hours): investment = £445


  • All packages include 1 detailed/diagnostic consultation, + either 1-2 shorter follow-up sessions (or- in some cases - a pre-consult "help me now!" session), depending on yours & your pet's needs/your chosen package.
    • Initial consultations are likely to be online, & are all about human-human information exchange & getting a "first aid" plan in place.
      • These sessions are likely to be 2-2.25 hours long.
    • Follow-up sessions may be in person or online, near my location, at your home, the vets, or "out'n about" - depending on the case, your pet's needs & your preference. 
      • These sessions are usually 0.75-1 hour, depending on the case/chosen package.
      • They are to provide continued help & support, re-assess the case, progress your learning +/- trouble-shoot (which is important as behaviour is dynamic, & plans are tailored to yours & your pet's individual needs).
  • Multi-cat and multi-dog households count as 1 cat or dog case; mixed-species cases are charged at dog prices.


*As of Aug '24, due to the high volume of clients insured for behavioural care that request additional admin for insurance claims, instead of charging an additional fee for the time & admin involved, this fee includes a £40 fee to deal with your insurance company, if needed - e.g., to complete one form per case, or answer 2-3 questions &/or send further information to your insurance company as needed. Please note that I cannot offer direct claims, or engage in extensive interactions with pet insurance companies. If you are not insured for behaviour, or do not want me to input or interact re your claim, please let me know & I will remove this £40 from your fee.


  • Subsequent follow-up sessions
    • Dogs: £105/hour-long session (if paid for individually).
    • Cats: £80/0.75-hour-long session (if paid for individually).
      • Cats & dogs: four+ follow-up sessions booked and paid for at the same time = 5% discount*. 


  • Tertiary level case review & input from a Veterinary Behaviourist (to be discussed & decided upon on a case-by-case basis if/when needed) = £300-500 (depending on the case & level of input needed). Fees may vary, and will be agreed in advance of proceeding.
