FAQ
-
Yes, repeat applicants are some of the people I work with most often. We can go through your last application properly in our call and work out what's stopping it from converting into an interview. Sometimes it's the personal statement doing too little with strong experience. Sometimes it's the course choices, or a research proposal that doesn't quite match what the programme is looking for.
-
I work with whatever experience you have and will help you present it as effectively as possible. However, if your current experience falls significantly short of what the doctorate requires, I'll tell you directly and recommend what specific experience you should gain first (we can discuss this in our clarity call). I recognise that some people need honest guidance on building a stronger foundation before applying to highly competitive programmes.
-
That’s amazing! My interview prep calls is a separate service which can be booked here. I kept it separate because most applicants need interview support at a very specific moment (when they're shortlisted for a real interview), and that moment is often weeks or months after sending applications.

It's totally up to you. Most people start by uploading their documents (usually within 2-3 days, so the turnaround time is protected). You'll get upload instructions in your confirmation email, along with the Counselling Psychology Personal Statement Guide, which is yours to use straight away whilst you draft.
Send in your CV, your personal statement and your research proposal for review. We can then use the clarity call to talk through the feedback and map out your strategy from there. The two personal statement reviews mean you revise based on the first round of feedback and come back for a second pass, which is where most of the improvement actually happens.
You must send me your documents within 2-3 days of booking to secure the 2-3 turnaround time. If you send these after this timeframe, I will, of course still review them, but it may take longer. The clarity call must be scheduled within 4 weeks of booking.

The package offers the best value when you use all components, but you're not required to use everything. If you're certain you only need one or two specific services, purchasing them individually might be more appropriate.
-
The pack becomes non-refundable once you've started using it, and "started using it" means any of these things: I've sent you back your reviewed documents (CV, personal statement, etc.), you've downloaded or looked at any of the materials e.g. guides, you've booked a time for our clarity call, or you've engaged with any part of the package in any way.
Why? The package price is a special discount for using everything together. Once I've started work on any part, I can't refund the whole package.
Not sure if this is right for you? Contact me first! I'm happy to chat about whether the full pack makes sense for your situation.
