Motherhood: Where Beauty Meets Chaos
Motherhood is a rewarding yet demanding journey, with competing demands and choices at every turn – which can leave you feeling overwhelmed and self-doubting and yet somehow, oh so grateful! The love we feel for our little ones can be overwhelming in itself. Confidence plays a huge role in navigating it successfully. Many mums struggle with a lack of self-trust and belief, identity shifts, and balancing responsibilities. Confidence coaching can be a transformative tool to help you regain self-assurance and take control of your life.
The Importance of Confidence Coaching
Your confidence is inextricably linked to your self-worth. When you feel accepting of who you are and are conscious of your worth you will feel a stronger sense of confidence. And when you feel more confident, your self-worth and belief continue to blossom too. Confidence allows you to handle challenges with resilience, communicate effectively, and set boundaries that support your well-being. Coaching helps mums rediscover their strengths, set achievable goals, and embrace their evolving roles.
Coaching is also a way to prevent burnout. The overwhelm and anxiety brought about by modern-day parenthood is rife and coaching helps that to be more manageable. In an article in Guardian, it was reported that ‘parents keep coping until they absolutely can’t.
What is Confidence Coaching and Why Does It Work?
Confidence coaching is a type of life coaching – a transformative process that empowers individuals to gain clarity, set meaningful goals, and take action toward positive change. It is particularly valuable for mums who may feel stuck, unfulfilled, with low self-esteem, lacking purpose, or unsure about their next steps.
As a confidence coach in Surrey, I provide tailored guidance to help you:
- Identify and overcome limiting beliefs
- Develop effective strategies for managing stress and overwhelm
- Create a vision for your future that aligns with your values
- Navigate career transitions and personal growth
- Enhance confidence and self-worth
By offering safe and brave space and structured support, life/confidence coaching equips mums with the positive mindset and tools to embrace life with renewed energy and purpose.
The Relevance of Feelings-Based Coaching for Mums
“Feelings-based coaching,” often referred to as “emotion coaching,” is a coaching approach that prioritises understanding and addressing a person’s emotions as a central part of the coaching process, focusing on actively listening, validating their feelings, and helping them develop strategies to manage their emotions effectively in different situations. This is particularly effective for women and mothers, who are: juggling many different roles and demands in their livelihood and motherhood; supporting and caring for ageing parents; constantly battling physical changes and hormonal fluctuations – particularly a decline in Estrogen; and coping with identity shifts as their own children grow and change – all of which challenge their emotional world considerably and can lead to mood swings, irritability, and increased sensitivity to stress.
Key aspects of feelings-based coaching:
Empathy: The coach actively listens and tries to fully understand the client’s perspective and emotions, creating a safe space for open communication.
Emotion labelling: Helping the client identify and name their emotions accurately.
Validation: Acknowledging the client’s feelings as legitimate and important.
Self-awareness: Encouraging the client to become more aware of their own emotions and how they impact their behaviour.
Problem-solving: Once emotions are acknowledged, the coach helps the client develop strategies to address challenges and manage their emotions constructively.
Benefits of feelings-based coaching:
Improved emotional regulation, enhanced communication skills, increased self-awareness, greater resilience in challenging situations, and stronger relationships.

What mums in Surrey say:
“I started coaching with Claire having taken on a new job which was quite a big change. I was getting very frustrated with myself for getting ‘in my own way’, constantly over-thinking and doubting myself. I felt nervous about being open and honest but Claire was so easy to talk to. She helped me to appreciate that all my thoughts and feelings are valid and deserving of attention – however trivial they may seem. By the end of the first session I was confident with what I wanted to aim for and that Claire was able to support me on my journey. My coaching experience with Claire was caring, thought-provoking and empowering.”
Christina, Mum and Area Manager, Surrey
“I started the sessions in a toxic job with no creative outlet and jumped at the opportunity to delve deeper into what needed to change for me personally and how I could embrace moving forward. I was in another role before the series was up! I found the sessions positive and enlightening and now find myself far less bothered by other people’s opinions and more focused on how I feel! I never realised how deeply I would appreciate coaching with Claire and what it has changed for me.”
Sarah-Jayne, Mum and Family Learning Tutor, Surrey
