Meet Josie Coco - MGestTherapy PACFA Reg. Clinical #27254 Gestalt Psychotherapist & Group Facilitator

​

Josie Coco is a seasoned Gestalt Psychotherapist and Group Facilitator dedicated to helping you live well.

​

Your answer to her question, "What's happening in your life right now that brings you to therapy? will focus Josie on navigating the aftermath of your life's challenges, both present and past when relevant, with her trauma-informed Gestalt approach, an approach that empowers transformation and healing.

​

With a background in clinical nursing and diverse leadership roles in health services and the business world, Josie brings a unique blend of experience to her work with you. After two decades as a successful business owner, she returned to her passion for health, qualifying in The BodyTalk System and completing a Masters in Gestalt Psychotherapist, with a strong interest in emotional neglect and early childhood, relational trauma and how it impacts you in the here-and-now. You might know these conditions as cPTSD.

​

Josie's profound understanding of the interconnectedness between the mind, body, emotions, and energy guides her holistic approach when working with you. This knowledge, cultivated through study, meditation, and personal experiences, shapes her practice with wisdom and depth.​
