Coco Ann

My journey into counselling was inspired by the events of Covid-19 in 2020, where like the rest of the world I was forced into lockdown, and in my case was plunged into a long period of isolation and deep soul searching. The pandemic made me confront some of my biggest fears, altered the direction of my life and made me realise the changes I needed to make. I took the leap to start training and continued to spend years learning, understanding and processing my own pain which allowed me to hold space for other people’s pain.

I have come through my own struggles & traumas and undertaken years of my own personal therapy, alongside years of clinical, research and training experience. Addressing my own core issues allows me to go to certain depths in myself and thus explore the depths of my client’s lives. I continue to take courses, CPD and further training to keep expanding my knowledge. I know first hand that life can change, no matter how dark, hopeless or impossible life feels. My own struggles and pain has gifted me with qualities that enrich my work with clients. If I hadn’t overcome the darkest parts of my life, I wouldn’t be the person - and the therapist - I am today.
