Mentoring Power Hour with Caroline
Mentoring Power Hour with Caroline
Whether you’re just starting out in companion animal behaviour, refining your clinical skills, working towards ABTC recognition or looking to add behaviour support to your dog training services, this focused Zoom session is an hour of expert, practical guidance, spent entirely on what you bring to it.
Bring current cases, business questions, confidence concerns or professional development goals. Together we’ll work out a realistic learning pathway that fits your experience, ambitions and circumstances.
This is not generic training. You’ll work privately with Caroline, an ABTC registered Clinical Animal Behaviourist with a busy behaviour referral practice, in a welcoming, confidential space where you can ask questions, explore ideas and receive clear, constructive feedback.
It works well alongside level 5 and 6 study, turning what you are learning into what you actually do in front of a client.
Sessions are offered on a limited basis, so that Caroline can give you her full attention.
This session is for people who work with animals. If you are looking for help with your own pet, what you need is a behaviour consultation. Your own vet can arrange that referral, and it is the right place to start.
What you will get out of it:
- Another pair of eyes on a current case, and a clearer view of your own next move
- Help with difficult conversations, whether that is with a client, a vet or a colleague
- Help with where to find the papers behind the advice and how to read them, so you can help clients
- Honest feedback on where you are now, and what is realistic from here
- Help shaping a development plan that fits your circumstances, so you finish the hour clear on your next steps
- Confidence in your own decision making
What's included
- Sixty minutes one-to-one with Caroline on Zoom
- A private, confidential space to talk openly about your work
- A recording of your session, yours for a year
- A CPD record for your professional portfolio, with space for your own reflection
Who this is for:
- Students partway through a course who want to talk something through
- Trainers thinking about adding behaviour support to their existing services and wanting to talk it over first
- Veterinary teams wanting practical support for the team, or thinking about an in-house behaviour clinic
- Practising behaviour counsellors who would value another view on a case
- Anyone weighing up the routes to ABTC recognition, with someone who has been through it
What happens when you book:
- When you bookYou’ll be asked three short questions. Caroline opens your answers with you at the start, so the hour goes where you want it rather than on introductions. If you’d like to discuss a case, have your notes, history forms or video open on screen ready to share. Do take client and veterinary details off anything you show.
- On the dayA Zoom link is created automatically and sent with your confirmation, and you’ll get a reminder 24 hours before. You choose how to use the time: one case in depth, or a run through several shorter questions. Everything happens live in the hour.
- AfterwardsYour recording is available from the Bookings area of your account and stays there for a year. You can download a CPD record for your portfolio, with space to add your own reflection. If there is more you want to cover, you can book another hour whenever it suits you.
There are no entry requirements. Come at whatever stage of your career you are at.
You will get more from the hour if you arrive with a clear idea of what you'd like to cover, so give the three booking questions a minute's thought. Your answers open the session, so short and specific beats long and detailed.
Life gets busy. You can reschedule or cancel yourself, free of charge, up to 24 hours before your session, as many times as you need. Just use the link in your booking confirmation, or the Bookings area of your account.
Inside 24 hours the slot is held for you and the fee stands, so do move it as early as you can. If something genuinely unavoidable happens, get in touch with us and we will do what we can.
This hour supports you in your work. Caroline will not assess, diagnose or treat an animal she has not seen, and the session is not a substitute for veterinary assessment.
If you bring a live case, that animal must already be under veterinary care. Anything you discuss is there to sharpen your own thinking, not an instruction to act on, and clinical responsibility stays with the attending vet and whoever is handling the case.
It is not part of any course and carries no accreditation of its own.
It is also not a sales call. If one of the courses genuinely is the right answer to what you're asking, Caroline will say so, and you can go away and think about it.
Who you will be talking to:
Want to go further than an hour?
If you would rather have that support over months instead of an hour, the mentorship programmes give you structured supervision, case study feedback and a CPD accredited diploma-level certificate at the end.
