About Flame Tree Wellness
Hi, I’m Renae — a HR Consultant, and qualified Counsellor with a postgraduate background in Psychology. I’ve spent more than a decade helping individuals and workplaces thrive through evidence-based people practices, meaningful communication, and a genuine focus on wellbeing.
With qualifications in Psychology, Counselling, and Human Resources, I bring a holistic perspective to every organisation I work with — bridging the gap between business goals and human needs. My approach is both strategic and compassionate, grounded in research but practical enough to make a real impact in day-to-day operations.
Over the years, I’ve supported a wide range of teams and leaders across health, community, and various corporate sectors — helping them to:
Navigate complex employee relations and performance matters
Build strong HR foundations including policies, procedures, and compliance
Enhance leadership capability and emotional intelligence
Foster psychologically safe workplaces and positive culture change
Implement wellbeing and engagement strategies that actually work
I believe people are the heart of every successful business — and when the team feels supported, valued, and understood, the entire organisation benefits.
Whether you’re a small business looking to build HR systems from the ground up, or an established organisation needing guidance through change, I’m here to help you create a workplace that’s both compliant and genuinely human. Well people create well workplaces.
Services Offered
HR Consulting & Compliance
Build confidence knowing your business is backed by solid HR foundations. From contracts and policies to performance management and workplace investigations, I help you stay compliant, consistent, and confident in every people decision. My approach blends practical HR expertise with psychological insight — ensuring your processes protect both your business and your people.
Leadership Coaching & Development
Strong leaders create strong teams. I provide tailored coaching for managers and emerging leaders, helping them navigate communication, feedback, emotional intelligence, and conflict resolution with confidence. With a background in psychology and counselling, my coaching is evidence-based, supportive, and designed to create lasting behavioural change.
Culture, Engagement, and Wellbeing
A healthy workplace doesn’t just happen — it’s built. I work with businesses to identify what’s driving (or draining) engagement and help design strategies that enhance team connection, trust, and motivation. From wellbeing initiatives to cultural change programs, I help you create workplaces where people genuinely want to stay and grow.
Conflict Resolution and Mediation
When communication breaks down, productivity and morale often follow. As a qualified counsellor and HR professional, I offer neutral, guided mediation and support to help individuals and teams move forward. Whether it’s employee relations issues, interpersonal tension, or leadership challenges, I help turn conflict into constructive dialogue.
People Strategy and Organisational Design
Your people strategy should move your business forward — not hold it back. I partner with leaders to align HR initiatives with organisational goals, designing structures, role clarity, and workforce plans that support sustainable growth. The result? Clearer communication, stronger teams, and a workplace built for long-term success.
Frequently Asked Questions
I work with organisations of all shapes and sizes — from small local businesses to larger not-for-profits and community services. My approach is flexible and scalable, so whether you need ongoing HR support or help with a one-off project, I can tailor solutions to fit your needs.
I offer a blend of HR consulting, wellbeing initiatives, leadership coaching, and policy compliance support. This includes everything from employee relations and performance management, to workplace culture, engagement, and wellbeing strategies. (You’ll find detailed descriptions on the Services page.)
Absolutely. With experience in both HR and psychology, I take a balanced approach that’s fair, compliant, and human. I can guide you through performance management, conflict resolution, grievances, or formal investigations — always with professionalism and compassion.
Both! Some clients engage me for ongoing People Partner support, acting as their external HR advisor. Others prefer short-term project-based work — such as policy reviews, wellbeing programs, or leadership workshops. You can choose the model that best suits your business.
My practice blends HR expertise with psychological insight, ensuring every strategy considers the human element. I believe that when people feel safe, respected, and valued, performance naturally follows. My work is grounded in evidence-based practice — but always delivered with empathy, clarity, and a practical edge.
It’s simple — we start with a no-obligation consultation. We’ll discuss your goals, challenges, and what kind of support you’re looking for. From there, I’ll outline a tailored plan that fits your business structure, culture, and budget.
Both. I work with clients across Australia via online consultations, and I can also provide onsite support across South East Queensland where appropriate.
I hold two bachelor degrees in Communications, a postgraduate degree in Psychology, am a qualified Counsellor, and have advanced tertiary qualifications in Human Resources. I am currently studying my Masters of Business Psychology. This blend allows me to address workplace challenges from both a compliance and wellbeing perspective.
