My sessions are supportive, structured and centred around you. I create a safe, non-judgemental space where students feel listened to and understood, which helps build trust and confidence from the very first session. Lessons are delivered online in a calm, focused way and are tailored to your individual needs, goals and challenges.

I use a coaching-based approach rather than traditional teaching. This means sessions are conversational and collaborative, helping you reflect, gain clarity and develop practical strategies that work for you. We may focus on areas such as motivation, time management, study-life balance, confidence, transitions, wellbeing or decision-making. I use recognised coaching tools and simple frameworks to help break challenges down into manageable steps, while encouraging you to think independently and build long-term skills.

With over 13 years’ experience working in education, inclusion and student support, I understand the pressures students face academically and personally. I have supported learners with a wide range of needs and learning styles, and I adapt my approach to suit each individual. I am patient, empathetic and clear in my communication, and I aim to make sessions feel supportive rather than overwhelming.

Each session usually includes time to reflect on what’s going well, explore any challenges you’re facing, and agree small, achievable actions to take forward. Progress is reviewed regularly so you can see your development and build confidence in your abilities. My aim is to help you feel more confident, organised and in control, both during your studies and beyond.
