Not finishing your PhD?

Welcome to the club.

You’re knee-deep in revisions (again), wondering if your supervisor will ever be happy with anything you write or if they’ll just continue making up new stuff for you to change.

Meanwhile, other students are out there graduating and showing off on social media while you’re Googling “how to do a literature review”.

The to-do list never shrinks, the self-doubt never shuts up, and you’re starting to wonder if maybe you’re just not cut out for this.

But you are.

You’re not broken. You’re not failing. You’re doing a wildly difficult thing with very little support. That doesn’t mean you need to quit - it just means you might need a better way to do this.

Now imagine this instead:

You sit down to work and don’t spiral into a pit of dread.

You finish a draft and send it off without crying or rewriting it 47 times.

You stop emotionally flinching every time you open your laptop.

You get stuff done and maybe even enjoy the process. (I know. Wild.)

That’s where I come in.

I help PhD students get out of their own way, make real progress, and finish their doctorates.

You're not the problem. The way you’ve been taught to do this is.

Let’s fix that.
