Supporting families to thrive and fostering resilience and harmony is my mission
ABOUT
Hi! I’m Fatumo Osman
I’m a Registered Nurse, Associate Professor, and a PCI certified parent coach®, deeply passionate about helping families navigate the complex world of parenting. My work has always centred around strengthening the bonds between parents and children, especially in communities where cultural nuances are often overlooked. I combine years of academic research with hands-on experience, empowering parents to approach modern parenting with confidence and compassion.
As a parent coach, my mission is to help parents recognise and leverage their unique strengths. I use a co-constructive, strength-based approach rooted in evidence-based practises, tailoring my programmes to meet each family’s specific needs. My deep understanding of parent-child dynamics is backed by extensive research on promoting mental health.
Throughout my career, I’ve been recognised for my contributions to the field of parenting and family support. I’ve published over 60 peer-reviewed articles and books, and have been awarded research grants to further my work. My research has focused on parenting interventions, maternal health, and mental well-being in various global contexts, including refugee and immigrant populations.
Outside of work, I’m a wife and proud mother of three, actively involved in civil society. I enjoy travelling and cherish spending quality time with my family and friends. My calm demeanour, warmth, compassion, and love for challenges define me both personally and professionally.

TESTIMONIALS
I’ve had an incredible experience being coached by Dr. Fatumo Osman. Right from the start, I was impressed by her considerate yet personalised coaching approach. When I began, I was under immense pressure at work and felt inadequate as a parent pursuing a demanding profession in a complex setting. The coach's guidance significantly altered my feelings of insufficiency and helped me overcome my challenges. Her coaching style skilfully combined empathy, structure, and encouragement, which has profoundly impacted my personal and professional life.
Dr. Fatumo took the time to understand my personal goals, strengths, and challenges, and her advice was both insightful and practical. She helped me establish clear, actionable steps to achieve my goals as a working mother. Her ability to hold me accountable in a supportive manner on a weekly basis, fostering motivation and self-assurance, was particularly noteworthy.
One of my biggest takeaways from our coaching was how to enhance my time management and prioritise tasks in alignment with my values and long-term vision while remaining flexible and adaptable. She also skilfully reminded me of my small wins each week and the importance of stopping and celebrating them. She encouraged me to focus on my strengths rather than areas for improvement, which fostered a positive perspective on my parenting abilities. By emphasising the numerous positive aspects of my mothering that I often overlook, she boosted my self-esteem and reinforced the notion that I was indeed doing my utmost with the resources at my disposal.
For those seeking a professional who not only comprehends your current parenting situation, encourages growth, challenges your limitations, and acknowledges your achievements, I strongly recommend Dr Fatumo Osman. Her expertise is unparalleled in this regard! (Dr. Amal, Sweden)
"I really enjoyed working with Fatumo. She was very patient, kind and accepting of me and my style of processing my challenges. Fatumo asked gente but very thought provoking questions that helped me to see where I could adjust my own thinking and approach to my children and family. Fatumo was wonderful at keeping me focused on my family vision and on how I could recognise when it was coming into reality. After our coaching I feel equipped with strategies and internal resources. It was so comforting to work with Fatumo. I will miss our sessions together." (Tracy Allen, USA)
