Founder | CEO | Entrepreneur | Small animal veterinary surgeon (MA VetMB MRCVS DipACVECC)
Specialities: Veterinary Emergency & Critical Care

I am the Founder, CEO and Clinical Director of The Ralph Veterinary Referral Centre. This is a multidisciplinary small animal specialist referral hospital in the South East of England, west of and near London. The Ralph has one of the UK's biggest 24-7-365 Emergency and Critical Services. Our compassion- and ethical practice-focused startup hospital opened in February 2019. It is now (August 2025) the UK's largest non-corporate, non-university referral centre with ~260 Ralphers. (http://theralph.vet/)

I set up the Veterinary ECC Small Talk project. This is now centred on a busy Facebook group with 66,000 members as of August 2025 (https://www.facebook.com/groups/veterinaryeccsmalltalk/). I also wrote a book and developed an app on Small Animal Emergency Medicine (no longer available).

I set up, personally fund and run The Ralph Site (http://www.theralphsite.com/), a non-profit pet loss support project including a website with information, resources and memorials, a blog, and a busy Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/TheRalphSite/) and private group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/theralphsite). The group now has 18,000 members (August 2025).

I am a Co-founder of Ethical Globe (https://www.ethicalglobe.com/), a directory and community of vegan people, businesses, organisations and projects, and of Veterinary Vegan Network (https://www.facebook.com/groups/vetvegans/).

I was previously a Trustee of The Mayhew (Animal Home/Rescue in London) for several years and, more recently, a Board Member for BradyCare, an animal welfare and veterinary education charity from 2022-2025 (https://bradycare.org/).

Northlands Veterinary Hospital

I work as a night vet in the Northlands animal hospital which covers several clinics.
When I'm at work I live at the hospital which has amazing upstairs bedrooms with en-suite, kitchen and lunch room.
Part of all the work I've done on myself as a person has taught me not to settle for less than. 
So decent salary, clean and nice accomodation, nice management!

With coaching I work through these issues and offer these results:
🐾You’ll feel good and inspired at work, and look forward to the start of the week.
🐾You’ll be able to handle any situation at the clinic with confidence, and enjoy client interactions.
🐾You’ll have energy to enjoy time with your family, and take up activities you’re always dreaming of doing “one day”.
🐾You’ll learn how to get out of work on time with zero guilt, and feel amazing doing the job you love.
🐾You’ll feel valued and appreciated as you learn how to set boundaries and ask for what you want.

NaturVets Veterinarios

I had my own clinic in Spain for 10 years and boy did I BURN OUT!!! 
I dropped the veterinary profession like a hot plate and turned to coaching in order to deal with my anxiety and burn out.
I came back strong, took up vet work again and am now loving it!
Now I want to pass my skills on 🐾🩺

Veterinary Practice Owner

Did YOU know it doesn’t have to be so HARD to be in the veterinary profession??

I love coaching fellow veterinary professionals that are struggling like I was a few years ago, and helping them fall in love with their career again🐾🩺

Some of the struggles I see many veterinarian professionals share are:

🐾They don’t feel that the veterinary life is how they dreamt it would be.
🐾They are burnt out, close to it, or just … disappointed.
🐾They find themselves daydreaming about getting out of their career (winning the lottery, retiring, becoming a yoga teacher instead).
🐾They are often feeling overwhelmed, and always running behind.
🐾They are losing their passion
🐾They feel under appreciated
🐾They are struggling with their confidence
🐾They find themselves frequently wondering if this is all there is to it.

🐾You’ll feel good and inspired at work, and look forward to the start of the week.
