Frequently Asked Questions

I offer academic support to individual adults on courses relating to counselling psychology, psychology, and psychological therapies. I specialise in supporting trainees completing doctorates in counselling psychology. I’m unable to work with students on the DPsych Counselling Psychology at City St George’s, University of London, due to my role as a Visiting Lecturer on that programme.

I can support you at every stage of planning and completing an assignment or research project up to doctoral level. I specialise in supporting qualitative doctoral research in counselling psychology, especially constructivist grounded theory research. I offer support via Zoom meetings, email, and written comments on your work. I don’t provide proofreading, copy-editing or ghost-writing services. However, I can comment on the quality of your writing and its adherence to APA-7 Style.

I don’t offer clinical supervision. However, I can support you with assignments relating to clinical work, including case studies and process reports.

Cancellations If you cancel a meeting with at least 48 hours’ notice from the meeting start time, there’s no fee to pay. If you cancel with less than 48 hours’ notice, the full fee (£85) is payable. Rescheduling If you need to reschedule a meeting, please give at least one week’s notice. Later requests to reschedule can’t be accommodated and are therefore treated as cancellations, as above.
