Supporting you back to work
Return to Work group coaching programme for women returning from maternity or adoption leave
The purpose of this programme is to help you make the most of your return and to look after yourself in the process, providing space and time for you, in connection with other women returning from work, to process, prepare and plan, in a non-judgmental and co-supportive group.
Piloted as a face to face course at the University of Leeds in 2023, with overwhelmingly positive feedback, this programme is now available for your workplace.
“Over the years, I have taken part in many programmes and trainings for academics, but this was the one that made a difference.”

Personalised coaching for Return to Work, whatever your reason for taking leave
Are you raring to get stuck back into your job?
Or are you totally dreading it, feeling undervalued and experiencing imposter syndrome?
Going back to work after a break can be a hugely daunting life transition, whether you are going back after having a baby (or 2!), adopting, recovering from mental and/or physical illness, having taken a sabbatical, or if you have been out of work for a long time due to caring for others.
I coach people in the lead up to returning to work and as you settle back in, walking with you along the way. For most people, this would mean working together for a number of months but the process is different for everyone. We will figure out together what you need.
Working with a coach at this time in life will:
- help you build up your confidence
- bring awareness to your fears (so you can deal with them!)
- remind you of all you have to bring to your profession
- firm up healthy boundaries
- create a work-life balance that works for you
- reconnect you to why you do the work you do
…ready for stepping through those doors or joining that first video call. From there, I will help you find your place, your rhythm and evolve your work life balance so that you carry on the way you intend.

What my clients say..
“The Back to Work programme has helped me enormously.
I feel much more confident in maintaining my personal boundaries and now take time to check in with myself and prioritise my mental needs too. It was also so reassuring to realise that none of my feelings surrounding returning to work as a new parent were ‘just me’. On top of that, I’ve gained a new friendship and peer support group that are all in a similar position to me.
Thank you Bryony!”
