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.
