Life & Study Support

Supporting You to Succeed — Academically and Personally

Studying can be challenging, overwhelming, and at times isolating. Whether you’re struggling with motivation, organisation, confidence, or balancing study with life, you don’t have to manage it alone.

Life and Study Support offers practical, compassionate guidance to help you move forward with clarity, confidence, and direction.

Why Work With Me?

I am a qualified counsellor and Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner, with professional experience working in schools and the NHS. I also bring extensive personal experience of studying at undergraduate, postgraduate, and master’s level, meaning I understand the real pressures students face.

Alongside my professional background, I have lived experience of neurodivergence, including dyslexia and ADHD. This allows me to offer genuinely understanding, flexible support.

How I Can Support You

Support is tailored to you and your individual needs. Together, we can work on:
• Setting clear and achievable personal and academic goals
• Developing effective study habits that suit how you think and learn
• Improving time management, organisation, and focus
• Building motivation and maintaining momentum
• Strengthening confidence, resilience, and self-belief
• Managing overwhelm, procrastination, and self-doubt

Our sessions are practical, supportive, and forward-focused, helping you take manageable steps toward lasting change.

A Strengths-Based, Non-Judgemental Approach

There is no “one-size-fits-all” way to study or succeed. We begin by understanding your strengths, challenges, and learning style.

Rather than focusing on what’s “wrong,” we will:
• Identify what already works for you
• Explore barriers that may be holding you back
• Create a realistic, personalised plan to help you progress

This approach helps you feel more capable, confident, and in control of your journey.

Neurodivergence-Friendly Support

If you are dyslexic, have ADHD, or suspect you may be neurodivergent, you will be met with understanding — not judgement.

Support is flexible, practical, and designed to help you work with your brain, not against it.

?

What You Can Gain

Students who engage in life and study support often report:
• Increased confidence and self-belief
• Greater clarity and focus
• Improved organisation and productivity
• Reduced stress and overwhelm
• A stronger sense of direction and motivation

These are skills that support not only your studies, but your wider life beyond education.

Take the Next Step

If you’re ready to feel more confident, organised, and supported in your studies, life and study support could be the next step for you.

You don’t need to have it all figured out — we’ll work it out together.
