Vetamorphosis™
Therapy and therapeutic coaching for vet professionals
You might be here because...
- Veterinary work is taking more than it's giving right now
- You want support from someone who already understands the culture — without having to explain it
- The usual advice about self-care and work-life balance doesn't touch what's actually going on
- You keep noticing the same patterns showing up — at work, at home, in yourself
- You want to develop your emotional intelligence and your understanding of yourself
- You're in a leadership role and carrying the weight of it largely alone
...You've found the right place, Vetamorphosis can help
You can bring whatever is troubling you here
I’m Philippa Welsh, a UKCP-registered Psychotherapeutic Counsellor and Veterinary Surgeon with over twenty years in the profession. I know what it is to love this work and to be undone by it. Metamorphosis is rarely comfortable. But it's transformative. Burnout during my own residency training eventually led me to retrain as a therapist, and to build something that I believe this profession genuinely needs.
For vets and vet nurses
When veterinary work starts to take more than it gives and the usual advice doesn’t touch what’s actually going on, or when life simply throws you too much.
Psychotherapeutic counselling
For veterinary leaders
Confidential one-to-one support for navigating the relational complexity of veterinary leadership, from team dynamics and conflict to the isolation and personal weight of a leadership role.

About Vetamorphosis
Vetamorphosis was founded in 2017 by Philippa Welsh, veterinary surgeon, psychotherapeutic counsellor, and someone who has navigated burnout and career transition from the inside.
Alongside her own therapy and coaching practice, Philippa hosts the Vetamorphosis Directory: a not-for-profit resource connecting veterinary professionals with therapists who genuinely understand the sector.
