Exiting an organisation is hard, not only on you but on all of those around you. TFUC was able to help me navigate a particularly difficult exit with my previous company. TFUC offered hands on support, mental health coaching and incredibly practical advice and tips. There was never any judgement, just good solid honest advice on how to exit in the best way possible for all concerned. TFUC balances real honesty with pragmatism, warmth and care. TFUC cares deeply about the people they are supporting and goes out of the way to provide balanced advice. I would strongly recommend TFUC to anyone that is going through an exit from their organisation. Especially if you want to ensure that your self belief, motivation and state of mind remain intact.
Exiting an organisation can be incredibly challenging, both for you and for the people around you. TFUC supported me through a particularly tough departure from my previous company, offering practical guidance, mental‑health support, and genuinely useful, actionable advice. TFUC never judged—only provided clear, honest insight focused on helping me leave in the best and most constructive way possible.
The blend of candour, pragmatism, warmth, and genuine care is rare. TFUC is deeply committed to the people they work with and consistently goes the extra mile to offer balanced, thoughtful guidance. I wholeheartedly recommend TFUC to anyone navigating an organisational exit, especially if maintaining your confidence, motivation, and overall wellbeing matters to you.
Navigating an exit is never just a transaction; it’s a profound disruption to your life and identity. I’ve had the unique experience of going through this process with TFUC and I can say without hesitation that her impact goes far beyond standard practice. The team struck a rare balance: they were rigorously professional and sharp on the details, yet incredibly thoughtful and personal in their approach.
A huge complexity was understanding the equity component and how it operated vs what could be negotiated. TFUC expertise in this precise area cut through the fog and allowed me to guide legal experts and maintain relationships while protecting my financial position.
Emotions can cloud common sense and having a sounding board that is both empathetic and practical was key to my wellbeing.
What stood out most was TFUC leadership—she cultivates a culture of total transparency that cuts through the noise and anxiety. She didn’t just manage the process; she managed the people involved with deep empathy and clarity. I felt backed by a leader who understood the holistic weight of the situation, not just the legal mechanics.
After a surprising and deeply upsetting meeting in which I was informed of disciplinary action at work, a friend referred me to TFUC. From the outset, they provided much-needed clarity on the correct processes that should be followed, advised me on the right questions to ask, and helped me understand my rights. TFUC offered invaluable guidance on gathering evidence, building clear timelines, and preparing for any investigation or hearing, while also highlighting where my employer may not have met their obligations in providing information.
Beyond her practical expertise, TFUC was an incredible source of emotional support during an extremely difficult time. They listened patiently as I worked through the spiral of emotions I was experiencing, provided helpful resources, and acted as a trusted sounding board as I processed how devastated I felt by the portrayal the company had presented of me. The support made a significant difference to both my confidence and my ability to cope during this period.
After more than a decade with my company, where I'd been instrumental in its European expansion, I had an opportunity to agree a redundancy arrangement that coincided with my maternity leave and my own desire for a new challenge. I was ready for a fresh start after years of navigating corporate politics and increasing bureaucracy. What should have felt straightforward became unexpectedly isolating and emotionally draining as the negotiations unfolded.
TFUC provided exactly what I needed. With a strong corporate HR background, they understand both sides of the table—the business perspective and the employee experience—as well as the emotional complexity that senior-level exits carry. This dual insight made an enormous difference.
TFUC helped me navigate unfamiliar territory with practical clarity: connecting me with appropriate solicitor options, helping me define the criteria for choosing counsel that fit my specific circumstances, and showing me how to best leverage that legal support in negotiations. Perhaps most valuably, TFUC gave me frameworks for approaching difficult direct conversations with my employer—striking the delicate balance between protecting my position and legal options while preserving the relationship with my employer and achieving what I felt was an optimal outcome.
Having someone who could hold both the strategic and emotional dimensions of the situation was invaluable. For senior women facing complex exits: this kind of support makes all the difference.
When I found myself facing redundancy at 20 weeks pregnant, TFUC had the exact level of pragmatic cool-headed expertise I needed to navigate the initial shock & then onward negotiations to ultimately reach a very positive outcome. Maternity rights (and wants) added another level of complexity, and their understanding of the landscape, both legal and reputational, helped instill confidence and clarity.
TFUC supported me at a time when I needed it most. After being made redundant only six months into a new role, I found myself completely floored by the experience. As an experienced HR practitioner and senior leader, I’m used to navigating complex and sensitive situations, but this was personal, unexpected, and deeply unsettling. I needed someone I could trust, who would listen without judgement and help me see the situation clearly.
TFUC was that person.
Not only was she incredibly kind, empathetic, and understanding, but also pragmatic, solutions‑focused and exceptionally knowledgeable. My situation was particularly complex, as I believed there were underlying factors relating to a protected characteristic, and I needed a safe and objective space to talk this through. TFUC helped me explore my options calmly and rationally, guiding me away from reacting emotionally and towards responding in a measured, factual, and professional way – this is exactly what I needed at the time.
What sets TFUC apart is that they don't simply tell you what you want to hear. They listen deeply, empathise appropriately, and then provide clear, honest, and balanced insight. You benefit not only from their vast experience, but also from genuine care.
The support TFUC provided was something I could not have found elsewhere. I didn’t feel able to speak to HR colleagues, and having been dismissed with one week’s notice, seeking immediate legal advice wasn’t an option. Even if it had been, I doubt I would have received the balanced, human, and highly practical guidance that TFUC offered throughout.
I am profoundly grateful for the help. TFUC gave me clarity, confidence, and composure at a time when I needed them most.
