I work with undergraduate and postgraduate students, researchers, and academic staff who want space to think about how they work, learn, and sustain themselves in the demands of academic life. Sessions offer time to reflect, regain perspective, and find approaches that feel both effective and sustainable. I combine mentoring and coaching to support clarity of thought, motivation, and personal wellbeing at any stage of study or research.
For students, finding a workable study/life balance often shapes motivation and ongoing engagement. Finding what works for you—and what balance feels right—is often the best place to start.
Undergraduates may also want to explore decisions about what comes next—career direction, further study, or navigating the transition from student to working professional after graduation.
Postgraduate and doctoral researchers can use mentoring and coaching to navigate the ups and downs of research, maintain focus, and sustain momentum through long projects and changing demands.
Common areas explored:
Support – having space to talk through the challenges and pressures of academic lifeConfidence – overcome doubts and feelings of imposter syndrome
Confidence – working with self-doubt or imposter feelings
Clarity – shaping ideas and maintaining focus
Perspective – balancing study, work, and life to avoid burnout
Motivation – understanding what genuinely sustains your study
Progression – setting realistic goals and building habits that help you move forward
I also offer sessions for parents and guardians who want to better understand how to support students through higher education — and to navigate what can also be a significant life transition for themselves.
