I was the first in my family to attend university, and achieved my PhD in 2006. I understand the challenges and triumphs of academic life. I understand how important it is to get your dissertation or thesis right, and how challenging it can be to keep going. I am passionate about research and supporting others to realise their potential with their dissertation or thesis.
As a Chartered Coaching Psychologist and Fellow of the Higher Education Academy with over two decades of experience in universities, I provide expert guidance and support to students undertaking their dissertations, and doctoral research. I have experience in online tutoring and supervision and have access to a wide variety of teaching and learning resources which I have created to support you with your goals and learning objectives. I have published systematic reviews, and qualitative and quantitative research, and supervised hundreds of students to successful completion at undergraduate, masters and doctoral level.
My approach combines coaching and mentoring to empower undergraduate and postgraduate students, fostering growth by building on your strengths and refining areas for development. I offer guidance at every stage of your research journey, from crafting your initial proposal to polishing the final draft. Together, we'll establish clear, achievable goals, ensuring the successful completion and submission of your research.
Over the years, I've supported countless students in developing persuasive writing skills, overcoming writer's block, organizing their ideas, enhancing critical thinking, managing time effectively, and rekindling motivation during challenging periods.
I understand the unique demands of research, and how pivotal the dissertation or thesis is in your academic journey. I appreciate the importance of those "eureka" moments that come from analyzing your data and connecting the dots. I'm here to guide you through the process, ensuring you reach those moments of clarity and achievement.
Sessions are typically 60 minutes, and flexible packages can be arranged to suit your needs. Let's work together to make your research journey a successful and rewarding one.
