Working Parent Transition Coaching
Thoughtful 1:1 support through the transition into and back from parenthood
Becoming a parent can be one of the most profound transitions of your life — not just personally, but professionally too.
As a working parent myself, I know this season can bring a huge mix of emotions.
There can be excitement, joy and anticipation — alongside uncertainty, shifting identity, practical overwhelm and unexpected questions about what work means now.
You may find yourself wondering:
Will I still feel the same about my career?
Can I still be ambitious and want flexibility?
How do I prepare to step away from work?
What if I lose confidence while I’m away?
What if returning feels harder than I expected?
What if the version of work that suited me before no longer fits?
I know what it’s like to hold ambition and flexibility at the same time. To care deeply about your family and still care deeply about your professional identity.
That tension can feel surprisingly lonely.
And while there’s often lots of practical planning around parental leave, there’s far less space for the emotional and professional side of the transition.
That’s where coaching can help.
This is a dedicated 1:1 coaching package designed to support you through the transition into and back from parenthood — helping you navigate the changes with greater confidence, self-awareness and intention.
Juliette helped me make sense out of lots of overwhelming feelings and helped map out a path so it feels more manageable moving forward.
I’ve started to implement some of the recommendations Juliette gave and am feeling much more in control and grounded because of it.”

Who this is for
You might be here because this transition feels bigger or more emotionally complex than you expected.
Perhaps you’re preparing for leave and wondering what stepping away from work will feel like.
Perhaps you’re on leave and noticing unexpected shifts in identity, confidence or your relationship with work.
Or perhaps you’re returning and trying to work out how to be the professional you were — while also being someone entirely changed.
This coaching may be a good fit if you are:
✔ preparing for maternity, paternity or adoption leave
✔ currently on parental leave and reflecting on what comes next
✔ preparing to return to work
✔ recently back at work and finding the transition more challenging than expected
✔ questioning your confidence, identity or career direction after becoming a parent
✔ trying to balance ambition with flexibility in a way that feels sustainable
The 4 session transition journey
This is a structured 1:1 coaching package designed to support you across key stages of the transition.
Session 1: Preparing for leave
Before you step away from work, we create space to explore what this transition means for you — practically, emotionally and professionally.
This might include expectations, worries, identity shifts, career concerns or simply making sense of what feels uncertain.
Session 3: Returning to work
Returning to work can bring relief, excitement, overwhelm — or all three at once.
Together, we’ll navigate the emotional and practical realities of re-entry, helping you feel more prepared and supported.
Session 2: During parental leave
Parenthood can bring surprises — emotionally as well as practically.
This session gives you space to pause, process what’s changing and explore any emerging thoughts about work, ambition, identity or what matters most now.
Session 4: Settling back in
Once you’re back, the questions often shift.
How do you rebuild confidence? What still matters? What’s changed? What does success look like now?
This session is about helping you move forward in a way that feels sustainable and genuinely right for you.
Sessions are timed around your individual circumstances and adapted to your needs.

My approach
I’m an accredited executive coach with over 10 years’ experience supporting professionals through career transition, confidence challenges and significant moments of change.
I’m also a working parent myself, which means this work feels deeply personal as well as professionally aligned.
My own path to parenthood was not straightforward and included many rounds of IVF, so I understand that the journey into parenthood can be emotionally complex long before parental leave or a return to work even enters the picture.
Every experience of parenthood is different. For some, this transition is joyful and exciting. For others, it may also carry exhaustion, uncertainty, grief, shifting identity or emotions that feel hard to name. Often, it’s a mixture of many things at once.
That’s part of why I care so deeply about this work.
My role isn’t to tell you what your career should look like after becoming a parent.
It’s to offer a calm, thoughtful and supportive space where you can think honestly, process what’s changing and make decisions that feel right for you.
Clients often describe my coaching style as warm, insightful and gently challenging when needed — creating space for both honest reflection and practical forward movement.
