Profile
Bio
Laura is the founder of Mind the Parent, a consultancy that partners with organisations to support employees through life’s biggest transitions. As a parental transition coach and therapist, Laura specialises in providing adequate support to help employees successfully integrate work and family life; ensuring they return with clarity, resilience, and confidence.
Her expertise spans maternity and paternity coaching, as well as broader long-term absence support (including illness, stress recovery, and caregiving). This inclusive approach allows organisations to reduce the impact of extended absences, strengthen employee retention, and foster a culture that values both wellbeing and performance.
Drawing on her background as an EMCC-accredited coach, +20 years in Multinational Organisation and her Psychotherapy training, Laura brings a unique combination of therapeutic insight and practical coaching strategies. She works closely with employers to design bespoke programs that benefit both employees and the business; from smoother parental leave transitions to sustainable work+life integration initiatives.
At Mind the Parent, the philosophy is simple: when employees feel supported through life’s changes, they come back more engaged, focused, and ready to thrive.
