Build academic success & cultivate wellbeing with Academic Coaching
How does Academic Coaching work?
The aim of Academic Coaching is to get you, your grades and your university experience where you’d like them to be. This includes, of course, your academic performance, but also looks at things like stress levels, general wellbeing and enjoyment. You set the goals, I’ll help you get there.
Goal-Oriented
Coaching is a method-driven practice. As an experienced Coach, I move between identifying what is most urgent to you, guiding you through different exercises that help us identify how you work best and providing you with practical tools that will help you get back on track.
Method-Driven
Each student is different. For some, it’s about refining study techniques including research, exam prep and writing. For others, the goal is to reduce stress, get organised and set achievable goals. Coaching is always tailored to your individual needs.
Tailored
I have many tools ready to help you with studying, organisation and wellbeing. But what’s really important is you! Together, we will assess week to week what you need and want, so you can achieve academic success and feel better long-term.

My Threefold Approach
Better academic outcomes and genuinely feeling better rarely come from just one tool.
My approach works across three connected areas — your studies, the systems that help you get things done, and how you're coping underneath it all.
Most people need a mix, and it shifts over time. We'll start wherever the pressure is greatest, and work across what gets you where you want to be.
Three pillars for your success:
01
Study &
Learning
02
Executive
Function
03
Stress &
Wellbeing
01
Study & Learning
If you’re struggling to keep up with your workload, feel stressed about upcoming assignments or simply are not getting the grades you’d like, I will help you to improve your studying and learning techniques.
Together, we will assess where you’re at with your studies, what’s working and what isn’t and what your goals are for your modules, your year or your degree.
I will guide you with a study plan tailored to you, lots of practical tools, help you structure your days and weeks and set realistic goals that get you where you want to be. I also support you with exam prep strategies, proven learning techniques, writing & research techniques and more. Plus - you’ll get that vital accountability between sessions.
→ Study better with plans that work for you
→ Set and work towards achievable goals
→ See results and get your study joy back
02
Executive Function
If you know what you need to do but can't seem to start, feel like your workload is everywhere and nowhere at once, or lose hours to distraction and overwhelm, I'll help you build systems that actually work for the way your brain works.
Together, we'll look at where things get stuck — starting tasks, staying focused, keeping track of it all — and figure out what would genuinely help, whether or not you have ADHD (though if you do, this is very much for you).
I'll help you build a personal toolkit of practical strategies — things like habit stacking, body doubling, sensory and calendar setups, colour coding, and daily and weekly structures that actually hold. We'll turn that feeling of overwhelm into momentum, with steady accountability to keep you moving between sessions.
→ Practical tools tailored to how you work
→ Structure that turns overwhelm into momentum
→ Systems that keep working beyond our sessions

Stress &
Wellbeing
Feel overwhelmed, anxious, stressed or stuck? Student wellbeing is so important and yet it often takes a back seat. The trouble is, how you feel and how you perform are never really separate — overwhelm, imposter feelings and burnout get in the way of doing your best work and having the university experience you deserve.
In a safe and confidential space, I'll support you through this time. We'll work through what's weighing on you — stress, anxiety, self-doubt, or the struggle to balance study, work and a life — and identify what feels most urgent.
With my experience supporting people from all backgrounds through the most challenging times, I'm able to guide you to a place that feels calmer and more joyous. As you feel better, your studies improve too — and together we'll work towards your goals, with your wellbeing as the foundation it should be.
→ Support with stress, overwhelm and imposter feelings
→ Better balance across study, work and life
→ A calmer, more confident foundation to build on
