HR for Confident Leadership
Practical, hands-on HR support for founders growing their teams
You built a business. Now you’re building a team.
And the people side suddenly feels heavier than expected.
I support founders who are growing their team and want clear, practical HR in place, so they can lead with confidence instead of second guessing every decision.
How I help
The moment you start hiring, everything changes. You’re responsible for contracts, compliance, performance, and conversations you may never have had before. It’s easy to feel exposed, especially when you’re trying to keep the business moving.
I help you put solid foundations in place from day one. Clear contracts. Straightforward onboarding. Core documents that protect you and set expectations properly. You know where you stand legally, and stop worrying about what you might have missed.
As your team grows, I help you build simple structure around your people with clear roles and consistent processes. Plus practical advice when issues arise. You deal with challenges early and calmly, instead of letting them build in the background.
The result is clarity and control.
You feel confident making people decisions.
Your team understands what is expected.
You spend less time firefighting and more time leading.
Your business grows without the constant HR stress sitting behind it.
If you want practical HR support that grows with your business and gives you real confidence as a leader, book a discovery call.
Hello! I’m Katie
I set up HR Katie because I saw too many founders trying to carry the people side of their business alone. Smart, capable leaders who felt unsure when it came to contracts, performance issues, or difficult conversations.
I support founders to make clear, confident people decisions. I help you build the structure and clarity your business needs as it grows, without overcomplicating it. I’m here to tell you what you need to hear, not just what feels comfortable.
I have over 15 years’ experience in HR and I am CIPD qualified. I have supported businesses through growth, restructures, performance challenges, and the everyday realities of managing people. My advice is practical and grounded in real experience.
If you want HR support that grows with your business and gives you real confidence as a leader, get in touch today.
