Coaching in Academia
I offer coaching for academics - from undergraduates, PhD students, PDRAs (post-docs), group leaders and management in a safe, private and supportive environment. I was a scientist for 11 years, I know how amazing a breakthrough result feels, how rewarding public engagement is, how it feels to secure a grant or finally publish after a long project.
Equally, I am aware how competitive life can be, how feelings of being “stuck” can creep up; how the lack of someone impartial to talk to can be demoralising. I know that handling mental health and wellbeing is a challenge in academia.
I became a coach to help people like you.
Through coaching I’ve helped people explore their identities, their relationships and bring balance to their lives. I've helped those who want to move on resolve bittersweet feelings. I’ve helped academics face the future with confidence, increased self-esteem and awareness. Through coaching, I offer quality time to think about the present and plan your future.
Coaching culture in your institute or department
I also provide training and mentoring to those looking to introduce coaching culture into their team, department or faculty. Typically, this involves training members of staff to act as a coaching facilitators for their colleagues - championing coaching principles to help boost wellbeing and ultimately reduce staff absences.
