FAQ

  • This service is designed for Clinical Psychology, Counselling Psychology, and other doctoral-level psychology training programmes. If you're applying to Educational, Forensic, or other programmes, contact me to ensure I can tailor feedback appropriately.

  • Please provide:

    • Your draft personal statement

    • The specific programme(s) you're applying to

    • Any guidance/prompts provided by the university

    • Word count limits

    • Any specific concerns or areas where you'd particularly like feedback

  • You'll receive your personal statement with detailed inline annotations. The service includes one revision round where you can resubmit your improved statement for follow-up feedback.

  • To give you the most valuable review, your statement needs to be a complete draft before submission. This means:

    • A full document with all sections completed

    • Your best attempt at the content (even if you're not happy with it yet)

    • A previous statement you've submitted for another application

    • Any complete document you want feedback on for future applications

  • Please submit as a Word document (.docx) so I can provide tracked changes and marginal comments throughout.
