For professional women who are on maternity leave, returning to work or navigating the first few years of working motherhood.
A small, psychologist-led group for professional women who are on maternity leave, returning to work or navigating the first few years of working motherhood.
Motherhood can change the way you see yourself, your work and what you want from the next stage of your life. You may still care deeply about your career while feeling less certain about how it fits alongside your family, your capacity and the person you are becoming.
Together, we'll create space to pause, reflect and connect with other women experiencing similar challenges. Through guided discussion, coaching psychology and practical reflective activities, you'll explore your identity beyond your job title, reconnect with your strengths and values, build confidence for the next chapter, and develop sustainable ways of thriving in both work and family life.

The Working Motherhood Circle brings together professional insight and shared experience. It is not about telling you how to parent, pushing you towards a particular career decision or pretending that perfect balance exists. It is a space to understand what has changed, decide what matters now and find realistic ways forward.

What makes the Working Motherhood Circle different?
What makes the Working Motherhood Circle different?
The Working Motherhood Circle is grounded in occupational psychology, coaching psychology and behavioural science. Rather than offering advice or telling you how motherhood should look, it provides a psychologically safe space to reflect, connect and develop practical strategies that help you flourish in a way that feels right for you.
You'll leave with greater clarity, renewed confidence and a stronger sense of how to navigate working motherhood while protecting both your wellbeing and the people and roles that matter most.

Is this suitable if I'm feeling worried or low?
Many women experience a range of emotions during pregnancy and early motherhood. The Circle focuses on supporting wellbeing, confidence and adjustment rather than treating mental health difficulties. If you're experiencing significant distress, we can discuss whether individual psychological support may be more appropriate alongside or instead of the group.
