What clients say
“I cannot thank Rachael enough for the incredible transformation she brought to my time management and organisational skills.”
Michelle – UK Public Sector
“We are incredibly grateful for Rachael’s outstanding contribution to our e-learning course on bullying and harassment in the workplace, with a particular focus on the upcoming Worker Protection (Amendment of Equality Act 2010) Act 2023. Her deep expertise and ability to bring this complex and sensitive topic to life were truly invaluable. Rachael not only provided theoretical insights but also delivered practical, actionable advice that equipped our learners with the tools they need to navigate these critical issues in real-world settings.
The content that Rachael provided struck the perfect balance between addressing the gravity of workplace harassment and offering pragmatic solutions, empowering our learners to implement what they’ve learned with confidence and compassion. This human-centered approach was exactly what we needed to engage our audience on such a sensitive and important topic. We are very much looking forward to working with Rachael again on future projects. Thank you so much!”
Rachel – UK Private Sector
“Rachael is one of the most well-rounded HR professionals I’ve come across. She is highly professional, personable, and incredibly effective in what she does. She has a real ability to quickly understand both the issue at hand and the needs of the individual, and then draw on a broad range of HR expertise, tools and personal insight to deliver exactly what’s needed in that moment. She is adaptable, insightful, and always focused on delivering meaningful impact.
What really stands out is how up to date she is with the latest HR thinking and developments including AI for HR professionals, and how seamlessly she applies this to real-world challenges. I can’t recommend working with Rachael highly enough — she genuinely helps you achieve the results you’re aiming for. Thank you, Rachael!”

frequently asked questions
What services do you offer?
I offer fractional HR Director services, employee relations support, HR strategy, change management, training delivery, and coaching. Whether you need ongoing support or help with a specific challenge, I tailor my approach to your needs.
Who do you work with?
I work with SMEs, not-for-profit organisations, and leaders who need senior HR expertise without the cost of a full-time HR Director. My clients span public sector, third sector, pharma, and professional services.
How does working with you actually save money?
Poor HR costs more than most leaders realise — through tribunal risk, high turnover, lost productivity, and performance issues. I’ve helped clients save £8,000+ per employee and £25,000 in a single litigation case. Good HR isn’t a cost — it’s an investment that pays for itself.
Do you offer training?
Yes. I deliver workshops on AI tools for HR professionals, personal effectiveness, and leadership development. My ‘10 AI Tools to Stay Ahead of Your Peers’ workshop is available for teams and organisations looking to get ahead of the curve.
Can you work with my organisation if we're based outside the UK?
Yes — I have international experience working across Europe and South America, and I’m comfortable working remotely with organisations based outside the UK. Get in touch to discuss your specific situation.
How do I get started?
Simply get in touch via the contact page. We’ll have a free discovery call to explore your challenges and how I can help. No pressure, no jargon — just a straightforward conversation.
