Fiona Acom Emwanu
Hello and also Welcome!
As your parent coach it would be my privilege to start together with you, wherever you may be at in your parenting journey, mistakes/uncertainty and all. In my empathetic and non-judgmental way, I listen to, hear, and seek to understand your unique and specific parenting challenges/struggles as you experience them. We work together to establish what you would love for your family in light of what really has meaning for you. We map out ways forward for your specific situation and style that are simple and do-able for you while being highly effective. This is especially important a one size fits all parenting approach may not work well. I am respectful of the fact that you have everything within you to be the parent you want to be and of your knowledge of your children. I also value and love to work with your parental instincts. You get to experience yourself as the parent you yourself would love to be with a really great version of your children that you would love to have.
Warm and professional, you will find my sessions to be a very positive experience.
Coaching helps parents bridge the gap between all the good knowledge they have, their all-important parental instincts and the putting of these into practice especially in our busy and fast paced era in which we are also overloaded with information and technology. And so seeking assistance for this is very much a strength rather than a weakness.
As a mother of two, a boy and girl, I am well experienced both as a professionally qualified full time working mom as well as a stay at home mom. I began my career in the financial sector and subsequently worked in a number of roles (I am an MBA – Leeds, UK holder).
I have always had a very keen interest in families and along the way, immersed myself in various courses, wide and varied reading as well as experiences on how best to provide children with a happy and fulfilled childhood.
Over time, I have had a deep passion for sharing the knowledge and experience gained over the years with fellow parents to create a positive and happier world for our children. I am now thrilled to be pursuing my dream of working with parents as a PCI Certified Parent Coach® having completed the graduate-level Parent Coach Certification® Training Program through Seattle Pacific University and Parent Coaching Institute. I have been granted Parent Coach Certification®. I also am a member of the Advisory Council of the Association for PCI Certified Parent Coaches®.
I thoroughly enjoy coaching parents both face to face and via Skype too (which enables me to work with other parents across the continent and the world!). It gives me much joy helping parents go from feeling downhearted at the beginning of coaching to feelings of confidence and hope by the end of my coaching!
I thus invite you to get in touch for a brief no obligation conversation to establish how I can support you. I would be delighted to work with you towards the joy and fulfillment of your children as well as your parental self.
What Parents Say After Coaching With Me
I wasn’t sure what to expect when I started my sessions with Fiona but I quickly realised I had made a great decision. Fiona’s patient affirming attitude helped me to understand and appreciate what I was doing well. I got to understand the root cause of issues and therefore how to tackle them in a way that suited me.
My relationship with my children is visibly better. I feel much calmer. My son told me an elaborate detailed story about his day at school (including plans to camp outside with his friend) which was previously unheard of.
Very highly recommended.”
I met with Fiona signed up and never looked back! I've overcome my guilt and have tons of insightful examples on how I can achieve my goal to raise my kids to be well rounded, grounded and be amazing beings….
During our sessions Fiona enabled me connect with my children on a meaningful level, not just give orders! I saw how I can give them responsibility and I watched them thrive and transform in front of my very eyes….
I always knew TV time (excessive) was detrimental but never understood to what extent; research (Fiona shared) gave me the fright of my life, I came into these sessions hoping to improve on my mothering skills….I've grown not only as a mum but as a woman….
All avenues we take in life are always trial an error, but we cannot leave parenting as a by-chance matter…. Coaching is beneficial to those who don't have issues, as well as those who have. I would recommend Fiona’s coaching to all parents!”
