Supporting working parents. Building a culture where people can thrive.
Behind every working parent is a person balancing professional responsibilities with the emotional and practical demands of family life. Returning from parental leave, carrying the mental load and feeling pulled between competing priorities can leave little room to pause.
Workplace culture shapes how comfortable people feel talking about these pressures and asking for support. When employees feel recognised as people, with lives and responsibilities beyond their role, there is more space to be themselves, build connections and contribute to a shared purpose.
Supporting working parents makes good business sense too. A workplace that recognises and supports the realities of parenthood can help organisations retain experienced people, strengthen engagement and create the conditions for employees to do their best work.

Our aim, via practical workplace support, is to help your employees feel understood and valued, while contributing to a more supportive workplace culture.
We offer engaging, practical talks and workshops exploring the realities of working parenthood and more sustainable ways to navigate its demands.
Sessions combine accessible psychology, guided reflection and practical tools. They create space for conversations that can be difficult to have during a busy working day - from guilt about leaving on time to the feeling of never doing enough at work or at home.
Our approach acknowledges both individual experiences and the wider pressures parents face. We explore what people can do to support their wellbeing, alongside what they may need from those around them.
In 2026 we’ve worked with The Mum Club, MyHealthCare Clinic and A Mother Time, bringing psychological insight and practical tools to conversations about parenthood, wellbeing and everyday pressures.
Navigating competing demands, setting realistic expectations and creating boundaries that allow space for work, family and yourself.
Understanding why guilt arises, distinguishing between helpful and unhelpful guilt, and responding to self-criticism and the pressure to do more.
Recognising the invisible work of planning, remembering and organising, alongside ways to communicate needs and share responsibility.
Understanding our responses to pressure, noticing signs of overload and exploring realistic ways to make room for recovery, seek support and address unsustainable demands.
Exploring confidence, identity, changing priorities and the mixed emotions that can accompany the transition back to work.
Examining expectations around being the “perfect” parent and employee, and developing a more compassionate, sustainable approach.
Whether you’re planning a lunch-and-learn, supporting a parents’ network or developing your employee wellbeing programme, we can create a session around your audience, workplace culture and aims. Talks and workshops are available online or in person, as one-off events or a series. Sessions can focus specifically on mothers or be adapted for a wider audience of working parents, including fathers.
Participants can expect opportunities to reflect, connect and leave with practical ideas to try in everyday life. Sessions complement wider organisational support, including realistic workloads, flexible working and supportive management.
“Dr Rosanna delivered a fantastic workshop on coping skills that was incredibly beneficial, both to me personally and to our dads’ community.
The session provided practical tools, valuable insights and a really important opportunity to reflect on how we manage the challenges of everyday life, particularly the pressures that can come with fatherhood. It created a welcoming, supportive space where dads could learn, share experiences and recognise the importance of looking after their own wellbeing.
As a community that exists to bring dads together and encourage open conversations, workshops like this are invaluable. Her knowledge, approachable style and ability to make the subject relatable made a real difference.
I’m incredibly grateful to Dr Rosanna for sharing her expertise with us. I’d highly recommend her to any organisation or community looking to support people’s wellbeing and equip them with practical coping skills.”
Workshop feedback
“I’ve worked with Rosanna on a few events now for local mums and she brings so much knowledge with her and really makes you feel like she gets it and what you are feeling and experiencing is so normal! I’m so happy she is here to educate us about matrescence and puts meaning & understanding to the shift we all feel into parenthood. She is supportive, non judgemental and passionate about what she does.”
