During COVID-19: Face to Face Consultations and Video Conferencing

As a result of the current COVID-19 crisis, behaviour consultations will be delivered in accordance to recommended Government guidelines at the time. We can also provide consultancy via remote video conferencing if this is a preferred option for you, and is helpful for those who are self-isolating but want to continue with their behavioural programme. Video conferencing enables Hanne to see you and your cat in your natural home environment, discuss any questions and give a diagnosis and recommend treatment plans.

Experiencing problems with your cat?

Hanne helped us with the transition of letting our adolescent cats outside. We were worried about how we could introduce the outdoors to our cats as we live near a busy road. Hanne provided a structured plan which included management strategies, as well as a cat training plan for us to work on, in order to help build a positive association to specific areas that were safe for them to venture.

Sarah Price

Hanne helped make our wedding special. My mum knew how important it was for my cat to be involved in our big day and got in touch with Hanne about this. She worked with Genghy, ensuring he would be calm and cope well on the day. Thanks so much Hanne.
