PhD Counseling

Successfully working on a PhD dissertation takes more than intellectual capacity and understanding your research subject.

Although they are no doubt necessary, they are typically not what PhD candidates stumble and fall over. From my own experiences and those of many others, I know that seemingly trivial issues can be serious unexpected challenges.

How do I organize my time efficiently? How do I effectively handle feedback from supervisors and colleagues? How do I deal with self-doubt and the fear of being found out as an impostor?

How can I get through all the tedious stretches? How can I best prepare for the oral exam? How can I deal with the stress and fear of finishing the project? Being burdened down by those issues is not the way it has to be. Having gone through the process myself and having helped many others, I have a good sense for what it takes to tackle those and other hurdles and to clear the way to making this milestone process a successful and even fun one.
