How can I help you?
Cats are sensitive beings, who can become easily stressed by changes in their home or local environment. They can develop a range of behaviour problems such as...
Overgrooming
Aggression
Spraying & toileting
Using ethical, evidence-based techniques, I can work with you to resolve your felines' issues.
A bit about me
I grew up in Hong Kong, where I discovered my passion for feline welfare after working in the SPCA. After gaining my doctorate in animal cognition, I moved into clinical behaviour practice in 2012. I have since helped dozens of cats and their caregivers better understand each other. I work at Second Nature Behaviour and mentor others training to become feline behaviourists.
I am independently accredited as a clinical feline behaviourist (CCAB), registered with ABTC and a Chartered Member of the British Psychological Society. I am also certified by IAABC as a cat behaviour consultant and I am a proud committee member of FAB Clinicians.
The consultation process
Vet referral &
caregiver questionnaire
To rule out physiological contributions to behaviour issues, I first require a veterinary referral. If your cat finds the vets difficult, just give me a buzz beforehand. Next step is a behaviour questionnaire to complete prior to our consultatio.
History-taking & assessment
Ideally everyone involved in your cat’s life is present. I observe your cat in their home environment with you all and considers the surrounding area. This may occur in person or over online video link. I ask lots of questions to understand your cat's underlying feelings and motivations for the behaviour issues.
Treatment plan
& follow-up support
I design a realistic behaviour modification plan. This will take a lot of time and effort on your part to implement, but I will support you remotely through it for at least the first 3 months. Your vet is kept in the loop and a veterinary behaviourist is on hand to provide additional support if necessary.
