Whether you are unsure about a dismissal, dealing with workplace stress, or trying to find the right tone for a difficult message, you will receive steady, practical support that helps you move forward with clarity and confidence.




What You Can Expect From This Practice

If you want to understand what this practice offers, it begins with a clear and steady foundation. You may be feeling unsure about what has happened, cautious about reaching out, or uncertain about whom to trust after a difficult workplace experience. Many people feel this way, especially when communication has broken down or events have moved quickly. This space is designed to help you organise your material, understand the sequence of events, and prepare clear and respectful communication without crossing into legal advice. The process is transparent and predictable, and you always know what is happening and why. Some workplace pathways move quickly, and many people find it helpful to seek support early, particularly because certain applications have short timeframes, such as the general 21‑day period for unfair dismissal matters.
This practice is built on clarity, safety, and trust. You remain in control of your decisions and your direction at every stage. Rodney guides the structure so you can move through your situation with steadiness and a clearer sense of what comes next.

What I Want You to Know

A Clear and Steady Approach to Workplace Support
Every client journey is different.
 Some people arrive feeling overwhelmed, others quietly determined. Some are responding to formal allegations, and others are seeking closure after a difficult exit. All are welcome. The scenarios you will see are respectfully fictionalised to protect privacy, and they show how structured, emotionally safe support can help you feel heard, prepared, and grounded, even in complex or confronting situations.
Representation is available in permitted settings. Support is non‑legal and emotionally safe. This practice does not offer legal advice or legal representation.
This work is not only about documents or deadlines. It is about clarity, emotional safety, and structured support that is paced to match your tone and goals. You do not need to arrive with everything sorted. Many people come to this practice feeling uncertain, overwhelmed, or emotionally drained. That is not a barrier. It is a starting point. The intake process is designed to help you find clarity, step by step.
Your story matters. Every detail is treated with care and discretion. You will not be rushed, judged, or boxed in. This is a space for respectful listening and structured support. You are not alone in this. I work with you, not over you. Whether you are responding to a dismissal, preparing for conciliation, or navigating workplace stress, the process is scaffolded so you remain in control.
Procedural clarity is part of emotional safety. Tribunal processes can feel confusing, especially when expectations are unclear. I help you understand what is required, what is optional, and how to prepare responses that are accurate, respectful, and emotionally grounded. Your tone sets the pace. Whether you prefer quiet assertiveness, gentle clarity, or firm professionalism, the scaffolding adapts to your voice. You guide the tone. I support the structure.

The Actual Process
Here is how support typically unfolds, step by step, with clarity, emotional safety, and procedural structure.
Step 1: Intake – Your Journey Starts Here
You begin by completing a structured intake form inside your Karnak envelope. It is designed to help you share your timeline, tone, and goals clearly and gently.
Step 2: Review and Scaffolding
I review your intake and begin scaffolding your response. This may include a draft timeline, a respectful reply, or a procedural overlay, always tailored to your tone and matter type.
Step 3: Refinement and Clarity
We refine together. You guide the tone, and I support the structure. Whether it is a conciliation script, a file note, or a tribunal‑safe response, we shape it until it feels right.
Step 4: Conciliation Preparation
If your matter proceeds to conciliation, I help you prepare calmly and clearly. This includes a respectful opening statement, a structured summary of events, and a clear articulation of your goals, all paced to protect your emotional wellbeing.
Step 5: Submission or Resolution
You decide how to proceed. You may submit, attend a conciliation, or pause. I help you prepare documents, anticipate procedural steps, and stay emotionally grounded throughout.
Step 6: Closure and Next Steps
Whether the matter resolves or continues, I help you close the loop. This may involve preparing a statement of service, a no‑liability resolution, or documenting the journey for future clarity.
