Support for Organisations

Helping workplaces support mothers through maternity leave, return to work and beyond

Returning to work after maternity leave is one of the most significant transitions in a woman’s career — yet many mothers are expected to simply pick up where they left off.

For organisations, this transition has a direct impact on retention, wellbeing, confidence, workforce morale and long-term career progression.

I work with NHS organisations, healthcare teams and forward-thinking employers to support mothers during maternity leave, return to work and the early years of working parenthood.

Why this matters

Many mothers return to work feeling:

overwhelmed
guilty
deskilled
exhausted
unsure how to manage work and home
anxious about competence, confidence and identity
unclear about their rights, options and next steps

Without the right support, talented women may step back from opportunities, burn out, or leave altogether.

With the right support, they return with greater clarity, confidence and a stronger sense of belonging.

What I offer

I deliver coaching, workshops and group support programmes for organisations who want to better support mothers in the workplace.

This includes:

maternity leave preparation workshops
return-to-work coaching programmes
group coaching for mothers returning from maternity leave
support for managers and supervisors
wellbeing sessions focused on identity, confidence and sustainable working
tailored programmes for NHS staff, doctors and healthcare professionals

Specialist Expertise

I bring together lived experience, clinical insight and coaching expertise.

I am a GP registrar, transformational coach and award-winning advocate for mothers’ wellbeing in healthcare. My work focuses on supporting mothers through return to work, professional identity, confidence and sustainable careers.

I have particular expertise in supporting NHS mothers, including GPs and doctors returning to work after maternity leave, and I have developed programmes informed by real experiences of mothers navigating pregnancy, maternity leave and work in healthcare.
