Why Choose Talking Pet Behaviour for Cat Behaviour Support in Oxford?

Struggling with your cat’s behaviour? You’re not alone — and you don’t have to face it on your own.

If your cat is toileting outside the tray, hiding, hissing, fighting, scratching furniture, or simply not themselves, I offer kind, science-led behaviour support to help you find clarity and make lasting change.

How Does Cat Behaviour Support Work?

Working with me is simple and supportive – here’s what to expect:

  • Step 1: understanding You and Your Cat

    We start with a detailed behaviour questionnaire and a friendly phone video call to explore your cat’s behaviour, your concerns, and your goals. I’ll ask for a referral form from your vet to ensure your ca’s health has been considered before we begin

  • Step 2: Initial Behaviour Consultation

    We’ll arrange your first session – either in person (within Oxford and surrounding areas) or via video, depending on your location. During this session, I’ll help you to understand the root of your cat’s behaviour and give you tailored, practical tools, to start making progress straight away.

  • Step 3: Ongoing Support and Guidance

    You’ll receive structured follow up support via whats app, email or video – whatever suits you best. I’ll also also share a progress diary so that you can track your wins and let me knowhow things are going. You won’t be doing this alone – ill be there every step of the way.

  • I realise that there are so many pet behaviour experts out there and choosing between them is hard. However I want to assure you that you are in safe hands when you choose me to help and support you in your journey in getting your pet's behaviour back on track. I have several years of experience both in handling animals as a Registered Veterinary Nurse and also in a Pet Behaviour Counselling role. I have done extensive study and have gained a Masters in Companion Animal Behaviour Counselling. As a result of this academic achievement, I have been accepted to be a provisional member of the Association of Pet Behaviour Counsellors (APBC)* and they are supporting me in seeing consults whilst gaining enough experience to apply to be a Clinical Animal Behaviourist. I ensure that I stay up to date with all the relevant information and knowledge on animal behaviour by attending as much CPD as possible. I am also governed by the APBC who stipulate that I need to do at least 30 hours per year.

  • Some behavioural issues are caused by medical problems. For instance, if I have a headache, my husband knows to stay well clear - I am grumpy! Behaviour can be affected by medical issues such as pain so it is vitally important to check that all is well with your pets health before they come to see me. Also due to being a provisional member of the APBC*,I am bound by those regulations stipulating that all cases must be seen on vet referral.

  • I will reply within 24 business hours and we will organise a FREE get to know each other call to understand how we will work together, what is involved, how much time you can devote to it, and for you to ask any relevant questions related to the process.

  • It is up to you how much effort and time you are prepared to input as to how much success you will see. It takes time though and we can only work at the pet’s pace taking it step by step. Sometimes there can be setbacks, however I will ensure you have all the necessary tools put in place to deal with those issues. We can always organise further follow ups (click here for services) to discuss those problems. How much work you are willing to put in will govern what results you see.

  • I will write up the report within a day of the consultation to ensure you can get going with the plan as soon as possible. It will give simple, straightforward guidance on how to proceed with the plan.

    Going forwards, I will ensure you are well supported with regular check-ins and you are welcome to email, whats app and call me with any questions you may have however small, large or silly they may be.

  • I will use only kind, positively rewarded, ethical, evidence based methods to assist with the behavioural issues seen.

  • With all behavioural problems there is no cure as such however I will endeavor to give you all my advice, wisdom and experience and fully support you to successfully manage the presenting behavioural issue.
