helping couples navigate parenthood
Welcome to Parents that Work. We’re here to support parents navigate parenthood and careers by helping to strengthen the foundations of your family.
Becoming a parent will be one of the first significant transitions that you experience as a couple. It opens up completely new levels of joy and love. As a couple, it can also bring heightened levels of frustration, conflict and stress. The way that you start a family and the decisions that you make in the first three years of parenthood will have a significant impact on the attachments you both have with your child, your careers and relationship.
When we are preparing for parenthood, we know to book onto an antenatal class, and perhaps explore hypnobirthing. We’ll read books and blogs that help prepare for birth and the early weeks of having a baby. We often don’t think about the impact its going to have on our relationship, or have the conversations about our expectations of family life.
This is where Parents that Work comes in. We believe all couples need a helping hand to navigate the transition to parenthood. Through couples programmes, coaching and our workbook, we are here to guide parents through these early years with stronger parenting partnerships.

As a busy working mum-to-be, i found the topics and conversation starters in this book immensely helpful. It's been so valuable to have these conversations in advance of the baby's arrival! better to have these conversations whilst we're not totally exhausted and stressed.

On a professional level as a Midwife, it would be amazing if more families used resources like this to prepare and plan for such a big transition in their lives together (and) really help to set families off on the best track

Rachel has a very kind and attentive approach and seems to intuitively know the right questions to ask to get you thinking of things from new perspectives you didn't see before that can help highlight the unknowns and lead to some new ways of thinking and the flowering of different answers.
