Reducing misery at work one conversation at a time
We all have challenges at work. Some are easily dealt with. But others can have you mentally composing emails at 3am or suffering with the dreaded ‘Sunday scaries’.
Evolution has given us our wonderful brains, which try to protect us by going into fight, flight or freeze. But when our survival instincts go into overdrive, work can feel unbearable.
If you need support with a workplace issue, I’m here to help.
I can help you to plan how you can improve relationships with colleagues, advocate for yourself, and advance in your workplace.
HR, managers and leaders
How much does conflict in your team cost you in sick pay, management time, and low productivity? Is the behaviour of one or more of your team members bringing down morale across your organisation?
​
What would the impact of your team members working collaboratively and cooperatively be? That is possible, and can happen within a few days or weeks with some impartial and objective help from someone who has been helping people in these situations for more than 20 years.
​
I can guide your team through a structured process which enables everyone to be heard. My solutions-focused style empowers individuals to work towards their own plan of action and find a positive way forward that they are bought into.
​
By helping people to express themselves effectively and listen with intent, issues that have been building for months (or even years) can be resolved in a few days. The mediation process isn’t magic – but sometimes it feels like it is.

CONFLICT Coaching
Choosing the right coach who you can trust and relate to is important. I like to work with people who need an objective and confidential space to share some of the challenges they face with someone who has experiencd those same challeges. Get in touch to arrange a free, no obligation coaching session for you to see if you would like to work with me.
Workplace mediation
An objective, neutral and confidential mediator can help parties reach agreement and restore their relationship to a future focused and positive one.
Mediation is a dispute resolution tool where the parties agree a plan to get back to working together and away from trying to score points off of each other.

We value honesty, here's what our other clients have to say
“I wish we had found Sue before we went down the hellhole that is the grievance process. She went to the heart of the matter and expedited a resolution between the parties that has restored the relationship they had previously enjoyed in the firm. As the company owner, I am delighted with Sue’s work. Speedy, insightful and value for money, Sue is to be commended.”

Professional Services Business Owner
"I reached out to Sue for support when I was experiencing a very difficult at issue at work. I was being treated terribly by my organisation, the first time in 40 years of work that I’d experienced this, and I was struggling to make sense of what was happening or how to deal with it. As a seasoned HR professional Sue understood the context immediately and her coaching, empathy and thoroughly human way of supporting me was instrumental in allowing me to emerge from the situation with dignity, with my mental health in tact and confident enough to rethink what I wanted from my career. I would have no hesitation in recommending Sue if you find yourself in a similar situation."

Senior Leader in a National Organisation
"Sue quickly grasped the basis of the case work involved and agreed appropriate terms of reference and plans of action. Her responses throughout were timely, and her personal style along with comprehensive reviews enabled efficient conclusions. Sue delivered within organisational policies and maintained objectivity and confidentiality throughout the processes. We would be happy to invite Sue to work with us again."
