How you will get there:

Goal:

The goal of this programme is for you to feel supported and steady throughout your PhD journey,  not just at the end. As you create a realistic plan, stay in motion, and receive regular guidance, you’ll begin to feel more grounded and less overwhelmed the mountain of work that lies ahead of you. 

Week by week, you’ll notice your confidence returning. You’ll feel clearer about what you need to do, more connected to your research, and no longer isolated in the process. Instead of second-guessing yourself, you’ll feel a sense of calm progress, the feeling that you’re finally working with your thesis rather than fighting against it.

And most importantly, you’ll see your manuscript evolve throughout. You’ll experience real, tangible progress in your writing each week, not someday in the future, but right as you move through the support, structure, and accountability of the membership.

The Doctoral Mastery Membership

Is this you?

You’ve made thoughtful plans and organised your thesis work, but when morning comes, getting started feels like a huge hurdle?

You have reserved one day of the week for your thesis work, but when the day comes you can’t remember what the next suitable steps are and where you left it. More than once you just skipped your thesis date because you were tired or it just didn’t feel appealing to get started. 

You’re struggling to start because, deep down, it feels like no one’s really paying attention to your progress and it’s just so hard doing it alone?
