ABOUT
Fiona Couchman
- Adult, Family and Child Therapist
- Parenting Specialist
- Attachment & Developmental Trauma Specialist
Fiona Couchman is an attachment specialist with extensive experience in working therapeutically with individual adults, families, children and adolescents . She has a special interest in adoption and foster care. Fiona is also a certified Conscious Parenting Coach™.
Fiona specialises in helping parents and individuals to better understand their own protective patterns of behaviour, and how these set up the dynamics of our relationship to ourselves, and to others. Fiona helps clients to break down, break though and break free of these patterns. An essential part of this process is to help clients understand the interpersonal neurobiology that underpins all behaviour. With this knowledge, she helps clients repattern the ways their nervous systems operate, to find connection rather than automatic protection. It is only when we become conscious of our patterns, can we truly begin to connect to our inner worth and power, to our joy, and to our authentic essence.

Consultations
I do individual sessions where I work in person with the parent, adult client, or adolescent, using creative mediums such as art, clay, or sandtray therapy to help expression. Sometimes there are no words for what we have experienced or are experiencing.
I also offer online sessions which can incorporate creative therapies.
Workshops
I am working on offering specialised workshops for parents and mental healthcare professionals. These will be announced later in the year.
