PhD Coach

Your Success
Our Mission

I founded PhD Pathways to coach PhD students through the postgraduate journey, offering focused support around mental wellbeing and self-development.

Whether I’m working with you in the thrill of the first year, supporting you through the “second‑year blues,” or helping you to face writing deadlines head-on, I understand how notoriously difficult and lonely a PhD can be.

Through outcome-driven coaching, I will help you overcome obstacles such as procrastination, writers' block, and feeling stuck by giving you bespoke tools and offering accountability to empower your progress.

Why choose PhD Pathways?

Tailored Support

I believe in a customised approach to progress. The one-on-one coaching sessions are designed to meet your specific needs, whether it's refining your dissertation, managing your time effectively, or preparing for your viva.

Focus on mental health

The impact a PhD can have on mental health cannot be understated. Experiencing anxiety, depression, stress and guilt are commonplace in academia. You are not alone, and the coaching I offer can help.

Lived Experience

I have first-hand experience of the challenges of doing a PhD and trying to navigate all that life throws at us. This means the coaching I offer is driven by empathy and understanding.

Services

1-2-1 Coaching

I offer online coaching with appointments available throughout the week.
Sessions are tailored to your needs and situation and at a frequency you feel is right.

Online Community

I offer monthly workshops for groups of PhD students, regardless of where you are at in your PhD journey. Come join us in a supportive group setting where you can meet other PhD candidates.

University Workshops

I offer a series of workshops delivered on campus or online to groups of PhD candidates. Workshops are delivered on a monthly basis and cover a range of areas where candidates might be struggling.
