RETURN WITH CONFIDENCE

A guided coaching programme to support you emotionally and mentally as you prepare to return to work after time away

Returning to work after time away especially after motherhood, can feel far more complex than expected.

You may feel:

  • Uncertain about who you are professionally now

  • Torn between roles and expectations

  • Less confident than you used to be

  • Pressured to “slot back in” as if nothing’s changed

Return With Confidence offers structured, supportive coaching to help you navigate this transition with clarity, confidence and self-trust on your terms.

  • Who Return With Confidence is for 

    This programme is for you if:

    • You’re preparing to return to work after maternity leave or a career break

    • Your confidence feels different than it used to

    • You’re questioning your role, identity or direction

    • You feel anxious about expectations or boundaries

    • You want to return feeling grounded — not rushed

    • You’d like support making sense of this transition

    You don’t need to have all the answers.
    This space helps you find your way forward.

What this programme focuses on

Return With Confidence centres on confidence, identity and transition.

You’ll be offered:

  • Weekly themes and reflective prompts

  • Coaching tools to support clarity and confidence

  • Space to explore what’s relevant to your situation

Across the programme, you’ll be supported to:

  • Rebuild confidence after time away

  • Understand how your identity has shifted

  • Clarify what you want and need at work

  • Strengthen boundaries and self-trust

  • Reduce anxiety around performance and expectations

  • Return feeling more grounded and intentional

This is not about becoming someone new- it’s about returning as yourself.

 

The Journey (themes & guidance)

Each week provides a focus, with flexibility to explore what matters most to you.

Themes may include:

  • Confidence rebuilding

  • Identity and transition

  • Mindset and self-belief

  • Boundaries and expectations

  • Returning with clarity and intention

You lead the work — the coaching supports the process.

 

 

What you receive 

  • Weekly 1:1 coaching sessions 

  • Simple tools to help you understand your emotions and energy

  • Supportive check-ins so you’re not navigating this alone

  • A calm, grounding space each week that centres you

 

How we work together

All coaching sessions take place over the phone or via video call, so you can join from home or wherever feels most comfortable.

Sessions are designed to feel:

  • Calm

  • Supportive

  • Grounded

  • Led by what you need that day

There’s no pressure to perform, prepare, or have the “right” things to say.

You’re welcome to have your baby with you during sessions if needed.


That said, many women find they get more from the space when they can join alone — even if that’s just a quiet room or a short window of uninterrupted time.

We can talk about what feels realistic for you

 

Session frequency & flexibility

I usually recommend weekly sessions, as this helps create momentum and continuity.

However, this isn’t rigid.

If fortnightly sessions or a different rhythm fits better with your routine, energy levels or childcare, we can adjust accordingly.

This is your space — the structure is there to support you, not add pressure.

How you may feel after Return with Confidence 

 

After completing Return With Confidence, many women report feeling:

  • More confident stepping back into work

  • Clearer about who they are professionally now

  • Less anxious about expectations and performance

  • Better able to set boundaries without guilt

  • More grounded navigating competing roles

  • Reconnected to their strengths and capabilities

Rather than forcing yourself to fit back in,
you return with greater clarity, self-trust and confidence in how you want to show up.

Frequently asked questions

Does it have to be six weeks?

No — six weeks is a suggested structure, not a fixed rule.

Many women like the rhythm of weekly sessions over six weeks, but we can absolutely adapt the time frame to suit you. Some people prefer sessions spaced out a little more, depending on life, energy levels or what else is going on.

We’ll talk it through and agree what feels realistic and supportive for you.


How are the sessions delivered?

All sessions take place over the phone or via video call, so you can join from home or wherever feels easiest.


Can I have my baby with me during sessions?

Yes — that’s completely fine.

If you’re able to join on your own, many women find they get more from the space, but we work with what’s realistic for you. There’s no judgement either way.


What if I miss a session or need to move things around?

Life happens — especially with pregnancy, motherhood and work.

Where possible, sessions can be rearranged with notice, and we’ll always try to be flexible and reasonable.

 

What if I’m not sure this is right for me?

That’s very common.

You’re welcome to get in touch for a short, no-pressure chat so we can talk things through and see whether it feels like a good fit. There’s no obligation to go ahead.


Is this counselling or therapy?

No — this is coaching.

The focus is on reflection, self-awareness and support in the present, rather than digging into the past or diagnosing anything. That said, it’s a calm, compassionate space where emotions are very welcome.

About Susie Rasul 

I’m Susie -  a women’s health physiotherapist and coach, and someone who has worked with women for many years through all seasons of life.

Alongside my physiotherapy background, I’ve supported countless women through pregnancy, early motherhood, return to work, menopause and the many quieter transitions in between — the ones that don’t always come with a label, but still deeply affect how we feel about ourselves.

Through this work, I’ve seen again and again that:

  • Physical changes are often intertwined with emotional ones

  • Confidence can quietly shift during life transitions

  • Many women carry far more than they ever say out loud

My coaching work is grounded, compassionate and practical - shaped by both professional training and real conversations with women navigating change.

I don’t believe women need fixing.
I believe they need space, understanding, and support to reconnect with themselves - especially during times when everything feels unfamiliar or unsettled.

The work we do together is gentle but meaningful, guided but never prescriptive, always centred around you.

You don’t have to have everything figured out to begin.
You just need to feel ready to pause, and listen to yourself again.
