Your Personal HR Consultant
After-hours · $180 per session · Melbourne-based, available online
A Personal HR Consultant is for you if you have a highly resonant body for power dynamics and want to cut through the noise.
You notice, feel, and absorb more from your work environment than most people — especially when power, tension, or unspoken dynamics are present.
And now you’re ready to play the long game towards your own peace and wellbeing.

Someone who finally sees the whole picture — not just the emotions, but the machinations, the subtle power dynamics, the significant ramifications of playing politics at a high level.
Find a place to return — to clarity, steadiness, and self-trust — inside your career.
You are mid-to-senior level and you are good at what you do. But you are in an environment where the goalposts shift, where sophisticated players are eroding your confidence, and where the pressure is making you question your own reality.
You don’t need someone to help you “find your passion.” You need someone who has seen the machinery, understands the power dynamics, and can help you find solid ground while you still need to show up to work.
You are professionally accomplished and privately unravelling. The gap between how you present and how you feel is widening.
You are navigating a workplace where the power dynamics are sophisticated, the players are skilled, and the rules are not what they appear to be.
You don’t just need someone to listen, but someone who knows the terrain to avoid pitfalls.
You need to find a way to stay with your feet underneath you — and play the long game.
How Your Personal HR Consultant works
Basically, it’s HR consulting, but instead of for an employer, it’s for an individual – whatever role you are in.
A free 15-minute conversation
We start with a short, no-pressure conversation. You tell me what’s happening. I tell you whether I think I can help. No sales process. Just an honest exchange.
Hour sessions
We book in consulting time to go through your challenge together. Available enough to fit around a demanding career. You might need a single conversation, you might like to keep checking back in as you navigate challenges.
Mind and Body
Informed by Narrative Therapy, powered by mindfulness, and grounded in corporate reality, we work with your highly resonant body.
Melbourne-based Consultant with 15 years in People & Culture
I’m Sarah, a People & Culture leader with over 15 years working deeply inside organisational complexities — the politics, the emotional load, the cultural undercurrents no one names. I’ve worked internationally, in public, private and not-for-profit organisations, from 5 people to 30,000+ people.
My sweet spot is as a generalist: building operational systems, working through Industrial Relations matters, transforming leadership culture so HR is the enabler and not the driver of relationships. I truly do believe in the transformative power of relationships, with ourselves and others.
My strengths are in sharing curiosity with people to:
– Make sense of power dynamics
– Find clarity about interactions that feel ‘off’
– Release unrealistic expectations
– Recognise the systems surrounding us
– Apply imagery and metaphors to experiences
– Sit in the discomfort of holding competing truths
My work blends structure and soul; analysis and care; professionalism and artistry – plus a whole lot of pragmatism, because the bills still have to be paid! In summary, there’s no ‘4 hour work week’ fantasy here, nor a hustle mindset to do more. Following the wisdom of Narrative Therapy: you are not the problem, the problem is the problem. I would be honoured to explore whatever challenge is showing up in your work-life with you.
The kinds of things I hear after people talk with me
“You’re like having private access to HR that’s willing to call a spade a spade. Getting help to decipher the corpspeak and understand what is going on has helped me find a way forwards.”
“No-one else in my life knows what it’s like to be sitting in front of a Board while having a colleague undermine you. It’s so good to have someone that gets it and can problem-solve with me.”
