What is parental transition coaching?

Parental Transition Coaching supports individuals as they prepare for, step into, and return from parental leave; whether that is maternity, paternity, adoption, or any other type of leave. It’s a personalised coaching journey designed to help working parents confidently navigate this life-changing moment—both at home and at work.

Whether you’re expecting your first child or growing your family, this transition can bring excitement, uncertainty, and change. Coaching provides a dedicated space to reflect, plan, and develop strategies that align with your personal values and professional goals.

At Nest & Next, I focus on helping parents:

• Prepare mentally and practically for leave

• Maintain professional identity and confidence

• Reconnect with purpose and clarity upon return

• Navigate changes in priorities, relationships, and routines

• Communicate effectively with managers and teams

Parental Transition Coaching also benefits employers by supporting retention, wellbeing, and inclusive leadership cultures—making this a powerful tool for both people and organisations.
