Unlock your potential and be your best self, in study and work

I'm Cheyann (shay-ann), a friendly, professional psychologist and published academic with 10 years' experience. You might be a student seeking study support, a leader, a professional, or simply someone who is ready to develop and make a change.

So what can you expect from my coaching?

I work with care, compassion, and focus. My coaching is tailored to you, using evidence-based psychological theories to help clarify, upskill and motivate. I believe that you already have the power to thrive, achieve, and navigate change. It's my role to support this natural growth, so that you're confident to keep moving even after the coaching has finished.

I start with where you're at. Your story, strengths, knowledge and experience. We have a clarifying conversation to figure out your goals. Together, we'll build a written plan or 'roadmap'. Over the following sessions, we'll review progress and address any blocks on the road. I'll use my expertise to guide, encourage, unlock your potential, set between-session tasks if helpful, and equip you with new skills and resources to move forward.

About me: I have a BSc Psychology, MA Applied Human Rights, and Doctorate in Psychology. I manage large mental health research projects in the NHS, and teach undergraduate and postgraduate psychology courses. I also coach students, professionals and third-sector workers. I am trauma-informed, mental health aware, neurodiversity-friendly, and LGBT+ affirming.

My skills are especially good for: A-level and university students, academics/PhD candidates, early- and mid-career professionals, people making life transitions or future decisions, and anyone who feels 'stuck', overwhelmed, or ready for a change.
