A new recruit isn’t working out — but letting them go feels risky.
A sickness absence drags on — and you’re not sure what’s legal.
A grievance lands on your desk — and you’re thinking “one wrong step = tribunal.”
You’re not alone. Nearly half of UK managers now handle HR without formal training, and 73% list compliance as their number one stressor. No wonder HR is the problem that gets pushed to the bottom of the list.
Here’s what doesn’t help:
Big agencies with cookie-cutter policies.
HR people who hide behind jargon.
DIY advice from Google or ChatGPT — quick fixes that miss your culture and risks.
I’m different. I cut through the noise, show you your options, and guide you safely through.
Sickness absence spiralling
Underperformance and exits
Grievances & disciplinaries
Redundancies & restructures
Any “one wrong move could cost us” situation
Fixed monthly fee for peace of mind
Someone to call when issues crop up
Tailored guidance (not off-the-shelf)
Ongoing support so small problems don’t become big ones
Think of me as your HR department — without the payroll cost.
When you’re ready to stop firefighting and sort HR once and for all.
Live group coaching, 1-to-1 support and ready-to-use templates for SMEs with 5–50 staff. A practical, affordable alternative to expensive courses or one-day workshops.

“I’ve been called many things… but “The HR Goddess” stuck.
SME owners call me when something’s gone wrong and they need someone who won’t flinch. If you don’t have the time, budget or headspace for an in-house HR team, I step in: straight-talking, no jargon, no paperwork swamp.
Clients feel safe with me in their corner: they stay in control, I steer them past legal landmines. You run the business; I’ll keep the people side smooth (and maybe even enjoyable!).”
Why SMEs Need Me
Running a business is tough enough without HR keeping you awake at night:
A new recruit isn’t working out — but letting them go feels risky.
A sickness absence drags on — and you’re not sure what’s legal.
A grievance lands on your desk — and you’re thinking “one wrong step = tribunal.”
You’re not alone. Nearly half of UK managers now handle HR without formal training, and 73% list compliance as their number one stressor. No wonder HR is the problem that gets pushed to the bottom of the list.
Here’s what doesn’t help:
❌ Big agencies with cookie-cutter policies.
❌ HR people who hide behind jargon.
❌ DIY advice from Google or ChatGPT — quick fixes that miss your culture and risks.
