Working With Me

Confidence to return.
A plan that’s yours.

I coach people who are returning to work after parental leave, or who know they want something different. Together we rebuild your confidence, get clear on your direction and plan how work and home will fit. I also work with employers to support colleagues returning from leave.

01For individuals

One-to-one
coaching.

You do not need a polished plan before we begin. Bring what is on your mind and we will make space to explore it. Through careful listening and thoughtful questions, we will notice the strengths you already have and turn fresh perspectives into practical next steps.

Coaching can help you to:

  • Rebuild your confidence and recognise what you bring
  • Get clear on what you want from work and from your return
  • Plan how work and home will fit together, including the support you need
  • Prepare for the conversations that matter, such as interviews, flexible working or a return-to-work discussion

Which package is right for me?

Choose Return Ready if you know the role or path you want, and your hesitation is about confidence, being out of practice or managing the juggle.

Choose Your Next Chapter if you know you want something different, but you are not sure what, or whether your old career still fits.

Not sure? Book a free discovery call and we will talk it through.

FOR INDIVIDUALS · YOU KNOW WHAT YOU WANT

Return Ready

Four sessions to build the confidence and plan to go back and go after it.

  • Session 1: where you are, what you want and your biggest worry
  • Session 2: your evidence, and how to quieten your inner critic
  • Session 3: small brave steps and your work-home plan
  • Session 4: rehearse the conversation that matters and plan your first 30 days

You leave with: a one-page summary of what you bring, a work-home plan, a prepared key conversation and a 30-day plan.

FOR INDIVIDUALS · YOU WANT SOMETHING DIFFERENT

Your Next Chapter

Six sessions to find your direction, and the confidence to follow it.

  • Understand (sessions 1 to 2): what is driving the change, who you are now and what matters most
  • Explore (sessions 3 to 4): your options, small real-world experiments and a decision
  • Act (sessions 5 to 6): your confidence, your work-home plan and a 90-day plan

You leave with: a chosen direction, evidence that you can follow it, a work-home plan and your first steps under way.

How the sessions work

  • We start with a short conversation to agree what you want from our time together.
  • Each session has a clear focus. Between sessions you can try small, manageable steps and bring back what you notice.
  • Sessions last 45 minutes and take place online or in person in London.
  • Coaching conversations are confidential within the boundaries agreed before coaching begins.
02For employers

Supporting your
returning colleagues.

I work with individuals, HR teams and managers. I offer practical coaching for returners and help managers support colleagues before, during and after this transition.

What I can offer your organisation:

  • Workshops for managers. A practical session on supporting colleagues before, during and after parental leave.
  • Returners’ workshops. A group session for colleagues returning or about to return, shaped around the topics most relevant to your team.
  • Ongoing support. An agreed monthly mix of sessions and check-ins.

In their words

Thoughtful questions.
Practical next steps.

Ella helped me gain clarity and confidence at work. Following our six sessions together, I had a clear understanding of my goal, the actions I needed to take and how to implement them.

Ella struck a balance of being easy to communicate with on a personal level, while keeping the sessions focused enough to help me actually reach what I wanted to get out of them.
