Coaching for veterinarians

From exhausted and never enough, to unruffled and in control of your veterinary life

We didn't spend years in vet school to end up dreading going to work. From Frazzled to Fulfilled Vet is one-on-one coaching for veterinarians who are exhausted, stuck, and ready to actually do something about it.

Sound familiar?

You're still working as a vet, but you're exhausted and it doesn't feel sustainable.

You lie awake at 2am replaying cases, Googling symptoms on your day off, wondering if you missed something
You catch yourself fantasising about getting "lightly injured", just so you don't have to go in to work, and can stop feeling the heavy weight on your shoulders even for a little while
You think a lot about leaving vet med entirely, but you've invested too much to just walk away and it feels like giving up
You've tried podcasts, mindfulness apps and self-care Sundays, but nothing gets rid of that knot in your stomach
You're exhausted and actually don't have the mental and emotional capacity to do something about it or make any life changing decisions
You want someone who actually understands what it's like to feel you're never 100% sure of doing the right thing and perform miracles under financial restraint

About your coach

Gunila Pedersen -- veterinary life coach

I'm Gunila and I've been exactly where you are.

I've been a small animal vet for 22 years. After 15 years in, I left the profession for a year because of burnout. I didn't even realise how bad my anxiety was until it suddenly lifted one day while I was walking near the beach, after months of work on my mental and emotional health.

Now I work part time as an ER vet, and coach veterinary professionals who are stuck in the same patterns I was. I don't glorify the profession, nor do I mince my words; with me you're getting honest, specific, vet-to-vet conversations about what's actually going on in your brain, why it keeps happening and the exact steps to take to overcome the stress, anxiety and burnout.

We figure it out

Together we'll unpack what's really going on -- not just the symptoms but the patterns underneath.

You decide

If coaching feels right, we'll talk about the programme. If it doesn't, you'll still leave with more clarity than you came in with.

Real results

Real results from real vets

"I knew I wanted to return to practice and I never wanted to feel the way I did when I left before. I also knew it was me, not the job, and I was completely sick of repeating the same patterns. I didn't think I could do it alone, no matter how many podcasts I'd listened to."

-- Veterinary surgeon ★★★★★

"Working with someone who gets it made all the difference. I've been in therapy for years, but Gunila understood the vet-specific stuff in a way no one else has."

-- Ali ★★★★★

"Being a vet herself, Gunila never minimised the hard aspects of vetting. She's helped me develop tools to stop the spinning thoughts when they start and feel more confident going into work."

-- Coaching client ★★★★★

"I enjoy much more going to work. This is life changing."

Questions you might have

Before you book

Most of my clients are running on empty by the time they find me and that's not a reason to wait. Building back your emotional capacity is exactly what we work on, and you don't need to arrive with anything other than a willingness to show up once a week.

I've been there. What I've found, both in my own experience and with the vets I coach, is that burnout makes leaving feel like the only option. Sometimes it is the right choice. But it's worth knowing whether you're leaving because it's genuinely wrong for you, or because you're depleted and need to recover first. We figure that out together.

One 50-minute session a week, online, scheduled around your shifts. No homework. If you want to work through the Happy in Vet Med course modules in your own time, they're there. But they're a bonus, not a requirement.

The initial consultation is free. If we decide to work together, the From Frazzled to Fulfilled Vet programme is $2,500 for four months of full support, including weekly sessions, written access between sessions, and the Happy in Vet Med course. Payment plans are available.

All sessions are online. I work with vets across the UK, Scandinavia, Asia, Australia, Canada, and the US.

No. Coaching isn't about diagnosing or treating mental illness. It's about understanding the patterns that are keeping you stuck and building practical strategies to change them. If I think therapy would serve you better, I'll say so.

"My mum says I'm so happy now, I should have done this coaching thing years ago."

One of my clients told me that recently.

Imagine feeling that way a year from now.
