About This Program

A Guided Program to resolve Grief after the loss of your dog

A lot of people would say a dog is not just a pet, they are a best friend. Their love is entirely unconditional, which is exactly why the grief is so complex when they pass away or go missing. Dogs are pure positive energy. Their joy, presence, and constant appreciation are things we can all learn from.

The level of pain you experience during a loss is always a direct reflection of the closeness of the relationship. Think of the daily life you shared. You fed your dog and cleaned their bowls. You attended to their health, walked them, played with them, and shared affection. Your dog’s ability to just sit, look at you, and listen is incredibly powerful.

When that presence is suddenly gone, the silence in your home can feel so heavy it can physically hurt to breathe.

It does not matter how old your dog was when they passed, or how long they have been missing. This program is designed to help you process the deep emotional pain. It provides a structured, safe pathway to begin healing from this loss.

This program is built on over 2 decades of clinical experience and integrates elements of Interpersonal Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, and Emotion-Focused Therapy to help you process your grief at a deeper level.

What You Will Work Through

The 7-Step Path to Resolution

01
The Roadmap
Realising why you feel this way is where your relief begins. You will understand why you feel the way you do. There is relief that comes from understanding how grief works.
02
The Foundations of Emotional Release
Before we begin the deep processing, we establish your internal safety. You will learn the exact steps to safely access and release emotions. Rather than blocking or numbing your feelings, this phase provides the grounding and self-support protocols needed to process grief as it arises.
03
The Integration of the full experience of loss
You will place the events of the death, the days that followed and your current life into a processed timeline. Your mind will integrate these memories to stop the intrusive nature of the memories. You will finally process the events of the past so they no longer disrupt your present.
04
Reconstructing the Relationship
Using Interpersonal Therapy (IPT), we focus on the reality of your connection. You will realise the true depth of your connection. This process isn’t just about remembering, it’s about insight. You will see the relationship for what it truly was to settle the past. By making sense of it all you move the connection from unresolved grief to integrated truth. You are finally able to place the connection where it belongs: as a processed, understood part of your experience.
05
Expressing Feelings
Using Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) you release the feelings of anger, guilt and sadness to reclaim the immense energy it takes to hold onto these feelings.
06
Resolving the Inner Conflict
Using the powerful Gestalt therapy, you will be guided to address all the unfinished business. You will have the space to say what was left unsaid and resolve the internal conflict.
07
Meaning, Purpose, and Symbolic Release
We incorporate your relationship learnings to define a meaningful life without your dog while keeping the connection alive in a new and symbolic way.

What Our Clients Say

Real people. Real grief. Real resolution.

“

When my dog died I blamed myself for months. The circumstances were completely my fault but accidental. I did not think I could move on. My psychologist suggested this program while we did trauma work. I am in a really good place now. I just wish my son would do the program now!!

“

The grief I felt when our dog Archie passed was nothing like I have felt before. He had been with us for 11 years and was a huge part of our family. I was broken for months. My kids were also devastated beyond words. They were both toddler age when we got Archie. We all did this program together and it helped us immensely. Thank-you so much for such a wonderful program. The way it is structured is like nothing else out there. I will forever be grateful.
