I am sorry if you are looking for help regarding a missing animal but I do not do missing pets as this is not my line of work. Please do not ask me as I cannot help you and it also leaves me upset having read of your pain and anguish. I know that time is always of the essence in cases like this, so please look for a communicator who specialises in this kind of work. Thank you. 

I am delighted to have been recognised for my work and given this award. 

Although my work is often for problem solving, I do spend a lot of my time laughing; animals have such an amazing outlook on life and many of them have a great sense of humour too! I've communicated with horses, cats, dogs, rabbits, birds and tame and wild animals too. 

All my life has revolved around animals, and 'animal talking' is a natural next step. I communicate with animals by connecting telepathically. I've always been emotionally linked to animals; sensing their pain, and picking up their joy, but I didn't realise that they were actually 'passing' this information to me.

There is nothing weird or spooky about animal communication; it's as simple as me having a 'chat' with your animal. People often refer to me as 'The Animal Psychic' but please don't feel uncomfortable about this as this simply means  I, like many others, have a gift/skill to be able to use another part of my mind to tune into sources for information. It is totally natural for animals to do - after all, horses don't have to neigh all the time when they speak to each other.

If you find it hard to understand the idea of animal communication (or people to have psychic abilities come to that) and maybe disbelieve in it, I am certainly not offended! I agree that it could seem like a rather strange concept to those who have not experienced it. But if any of what I have written above helps you - if you have an illness or know a loved one who has - then I hope my story will give you hope and positivity.

Psychic actually means, 'a person sensitive to things beyond the everyday range of perception' so using telepathy, I can have a conversation with your pet. Ask yourself, how many times have you said, 'If only they could talk?' So, like a friend, you introduce them to me, I have a chat, and then I tell you what they say. They will give me pictures, experiences, and lots more! Pet Psychic explained here on HowStuffWorks.com

Many people come to me as need help with their pet grief, and I am honoured to help them. Also, as you can see above, I have worked on TV helping people who are grieving for their animals too. I have been through the grief process many times before too - I also felt like my heart had been broken into a thousand pieces having lost my beloved pets / animals over the years.

I know the feeling of acceptance as most of my pets made old age however, I also experienced the pain and shock of losing a couple so very young. I wish I had known some of the coping strategies then that I know now. 

In this book, which people often refer to as a pet grief counselling book, there are practical mental techniques which I have been shown and taught. For example: did you know that you can use your breathing, tap / drum your fingertips on one specific area or your body and truly lower your feeling of stress? It really does work and is simple to do too.

Therapists / counsellors help people with mental well-being who are suffering for many various reasons. I am now sharing this knowledge to help people with not just their pet grief, but other aspects of owning a pet that can cause us worry too. Also, the book has much much more. I aim to help empower you and also, needless to say, there are some spiritual aspects too - although for this book to be of help to you, you do not have to be a believer in the afterlife at all!

I do a lot of work with people's horses and, unlike communicating with pets i.e. dogs, cats rabbits etc., doing readings for horses can be very complex as they have such diverse lives / physical issues / varying capabilities / fears / injuries / conditions that I feel really should be served on a communication front by somebody that is an experienced rider and has good all round knowledge of horses.

I am fortunate to have this (although I am no expert), but generally can make sense of what a horse is trying to show me. Although I no longer have my own horses, I'm lucky that I occasionally still get to ride. This is one of my lovely friend's horses who says he is a true gent, and yes he is!
