Thrive in Your Studies
Mentoring and Support for Busy HE Professionals
Designed specifically for higher‑education professionals balancing demanding roles, this support offers a structured, compassionate space to progress your studies with confidence. You’ll receive coaching on research design, academic writing, time management, and viva preparation, always with an understanding of the realities of HE workloads. We’ll work together to maintain momentum, overcome barriers, and sustain your wellbeing throughout the doctoral journey. This is practical, energising support that helps you thrive academically without sacrificing balance. Having completed my own PhD and MBA whilst working full time I know just how challenging it can be and the expectations from colleagues are often higher because you work in the sector. Bespoke packages available.

"I first worked with Jess when she was Associate Dean at my institution and later had the privilege of having her as my PhD supervisor. She has an incredible depth of subject knowledge, and her expertise in research methods and academic writing is second to none.
Throughout my PhD, Jess was hugely supportive, insightful, and brilliant at helping me build confidence as a researcher. What really stands out is how invested she is in helping others succeed and develop.
I’m now continuing to collaborate with Jess on research papers, and working alongside her as a co-author has only reinforced how impressive her academic experience, mentoring and leadership abilities are."
