Multi-Award Winning Clinical Psychologist, Coach, Resilience and Mental Health expert | LinkedIn Top Voice | Banishing burnout and boosting resilience | Coaching | Training | Research | Consultation

HR professionals, I see you.

I’m Jo, a Clinical Psychologist, Author, Researcher, and Co-founder of Ultimate Resilience. 

For over 25 years, I’ve been on a mission to change the way we view mental health in the workplace —starting with HR professionals. You are the heartbeat of every organisation, yet far too often, your own wellbeing gets overlooked.

Through my work as a co-author of the HR Mental Wellbeing Survey and The Little Book of HR Resilience, I’m committed to changing that narrative. My work aims to empower you to not just survive in your role, but to truly lead with resilience.

What I offer to HR professionals:

Pioneering HR Supervision
I’m proud to have pioneered HR Supervision, offering a unique and essential support system for those who are constantly supporting others. Our supervision service creates a safe space for HR professionals to process challenges, address moral dilemmas, and protect their wellbeing.  

Evidence-Based, Tailored Solutions
My approach is grounded in the science of psychology, backed by years of research and real-world experience. From stress management to building resilience, I create solutions that are proven to work and are designed specifically for HR professionals and the unique challenges you face.

Measurable Impact
Over the years, I’ve worked with major organisations such as Santander, NHS, Age UK, and Taylor Wimpy, helping them reduce stress, build resilience, and foster healthier, more productive workplaces.

Why should you reach out?
I’m not just a psychologist; I’m a voice for HR wellbeing. I know that as an HR professional, you carry a unique emotional load. It's time to invest in your wellbeing, psychological skills, and performance so you can continue to lead, inspire, and support your organisation. 

If you’re ready to take the next step in prioritising your mental health, developing your psychological skills, and boosting your performance — whether for yourself or your team — I’d love to connect. 

Together, we’ll create lasting, meaningful change for your wellbeing — and for the wellbeing of your organisation.

Dr Jo Burrell

The lies we still tell about HR.

They’re rarely said out loud.

But they shape expectations.
They shape stereotypes.
And they direct blame.

Here are 8 lies that do real damage:

1. “They can deal with it.”
If it’s messy, emotive, or no one else wants to touch it — send it to HR. They’ll absorb it.

2. “They don’t need support.”
They are the support system. So we forget they carry the emotional weight too.

3. “They set the culture.”
Even when they don’t hold the power, budget, or authority that truly determines it.

4. “They’re neutral and unaffected.”
As if handling conflict, grievance, redundancy and crisis leaves no mark.

5. “They have influence.”
Influence is assumed — authority often isn’t.

6. “They only care about the business.”
A stereotype that ignores the care, advocacy and emotional labour happening behind closed doors.

7. “Everything is their fault.”
When engagement drops, change fails, or leaders behave badly, HR becomes the easiest place to point the finger.

8. “If they’re struggling, they’re not resilient enough.”
When in reality, even the most capable professionals have limits.

These lies don’t just misrepresent a profession.

They create caricatures.
They incite blame.
They dehumanise.

And when HR professionals stop being seen as people — with emotions, limits, values and pressures — it becomes easier to overload them, criticise them, or reduce them to a function.

Maybe the starting point isn’t fixing HR.

Maybe it’s recognising them.

As professionals.
As leaders.
As human beings.

And that changes everything.

Is HR holding back British business?

That was the question posed in Thursday’s Times piece, which highlighted the growth of HR in the UK — from 284,000 roles in 2010 to 478,000 last year. 

The article links that growth to flatlining productivity and cites analysis suggesting that if the UK had the same proportion of HR workers as the US, the economy could be £10bn better off.

It’s a compelling narrative.

But it skips something important.

HR can absolutely hold power in organisations. Many HR leaders hold significant budgets and sit on executive teams. They can influence performance, talent and risk.

But what they don’t do is unilaterally determine whole-business strategy, national economic conditions or UK productivity levels.

HR advises. 
Designs systems. 
Implements policy. 
Interprets legislation. 
Manages risk.

When the article points to rising anxiety-related tribunal claims (from 9.7% to 30%), that reflects a workforce, a legal framework and a society that have changed.

Not simply a profession inventing problems.

Yes, we should debate effectiveness.
Yes, bureaucracy can creep in.

But framing HR as the bloated moral police holding back the economy feels like something else.

It feels like scapegoating.

Complex economic challenges are reduced in this article to a single, visible function — one that's female-dominated and associated with “soft” work — rather than examined as shared leadership and structural issues.

HR isn’t beyond critique.

But reducing Britain’s productivity problem to “too much HR” is a complete oversimplification.

The more useful question is this:

Are we having an honest conversation about shared accountability — or are we looking for somewhere convenient to land the blame?

💥 HR people — this is your last chance 💥 

The 2026 HR Mental Wellbeing Survey closes at midnight on 28 February (GMT).

If you haven’t yet taken part, there’s still time.
But not much.

This survey exists to do one thing:
Turn the lived experience of HR professionals into evidence that cannot be ignored.

Without robust data, burnout gets minimised.
Attrition gets individualised.
Emotional strain gets normalised.

With thousands of voices?
It becomes impossible to dismiss.

We set out to build a dataset strong enough to influence real conversations about recognition, support and sustainability in HR roles.

If you work in HR, your voice genuinely matters.

This survey
🕒 Takes under 10 minutes
🔒 Completely anonymous
👥 Open to all HR roles, across sectors

⬇️ Survey link in comments below ⬇️ 

Please take part before midnight on 28 February (GMT) — and share with your HR networks if you can.

Thank you to everyone who has already added their voice. 

This is what it looks like when a profession stands together.
