Workshops and retreat facilitation
I have a lot of experience in facilitating writing retreats for academics, as well as offering workshops on writing, thesis planning and supervising international students from non-English speaking backgrounds.
Mentoring that makes a difference.
I’m often asked to meet one on one with students and early career researchers outside of my institution or network. I reserve a few appointments per week for this work. It’s confidential and personalised to your current needs. Whether you are needing to put together a plan to get your PhD back on track, talk through strategies for managing an academic career with kids, or wanting a fortnightly accountability meeting to meet your goals, this is the time I have set aside for you!
Coaching Services
Basic trial session
Mentoring and coaching styles differ for everyone. I offer a no-committment, no-expectation 40 minute coaching session to see how well we connect.

Fixed term coaching packages
If our first meeting works out, we can book in some more regular mentoring sessions based on your main needs. I mainly work through a relevant book with you and provide accountability and encouragement as you seek to get things on track. Feedback on your writing is provided in writing track coaching.

Kelly’s advice and mentoring has enabled me to develop confidence in my ability to independently navigate the publication process, despite cultural and language barriers
— Postgraduate mentee
Kelly has provided opportunities to improve our work that would not otherwise have been available to us. These sessions have provided us with the opportunity to learn to read critically, write in more structured ways, identify and work through some of the challenges facing us as doctoral candidates, all of which reduced barriers to completion and improved our writing.
