Find an Accredited Coach or Mentor

Whilst working in the Space Industry (yes, I was a rocket scientist!) and working with some of the best graduates and undergraduates in Europe, I realised that a lot of the young people that we hired were struggling with stress, anxiety, and burn-out. I started to coach them through their first year at work, and they all said the same thing - "I wish I'd understood that when I was at university!" I now work with students and young people around all aspects of university life.

My aim is for every student to graduate happy and healthy.

I work one to one with students around topics such as meeting assignment deadlines, coping with exam stress, loneliness, and preparing for work. I also run fantastic workshops around careers, and how to get along with housemates.

I am a big supporter of Women in STEM, and often speak at schools and colleges to promote the vast and ever-changing career opportunities in science and engineering. Every job I have had didn't exist when I was at school, and it is likely that the young people of today will have jobs that we can't even imagine. I help prepare students to take this journey into the unknown and enable them to thrive on this incredible journey.

Throughout my career, I have worked with young people, as a mentor, and then coach, representing initially Bath University, and then the Science and Technology Facilities Council, where I worked as a research scientist for over 10 years. Whilst I got to work on fantastic projects like building radio telescopes in Chile, or instrumentation for space, my favourite part was inspiring the next generation of pupils and students.
I have now been working as a professional coach since 2014 and set up Coach for Students to continue to support the next generation to fulfil their aspirations.

Sometimes the work that I do leads me to work with parents and other supporting people such as university welfare officers, and graduate training providers. If you are concerned about the students that you are responsible for, or would like to know how you can better support them, then please do get in touch.
I offer onsite support at university campuses, and also work with companies to ensure that their new graduate training programmes include the support they need to flourish.
