1:1 Coaching for Academics Who Are Stuck

Do you spend more time thinking about how you should be writing than actually doing it?

My coaching offers support and accountability to help you overcome blocks, gain insight and move your writing projects forward. Together, we clarify goals and experiment with different approaches to find a weekly writing rhythm that works for you.

Who this coaching is for:

This coaching may be a good fit if:

  • You have many ideas but are struggling to make a decision or move from topic to argument.

  • You know the project matters, but you keep avoiding it or letting other urgent work take over.

  • You feel caught in cycles of rewriting, researching, restructuring, or rethinking without making tangible progress.

  • You are returning to a project after rejection, interruption, illness, leave, burnout, or a long period away.

  • You have lost confidence in the project, or in your ability to finish it.

  • You need both structure and reflection: a practical plan, but also space to understand what keeps getting in the way.

What the 12 weeks include

Over 12 weeks, we work together to:

  • clarify the project and identify what it needs next

  • create a realistic writing plan and rhythm that fits your life

  • set small, workable commitments between sessions, with regular accountability

  • understand and adapt the patterns that lead to avoidance, overwhelm, or overworking

  • explore simple practices to help you stay present with the writing when stress, anxiety, or self-criticism arise

“Faith helped me get back to writing a project I believe in.”

“After our 12 sessions, I have multiple presses pursuing my book, positive peer reviews, and a manageable timeline to complete the full manuscript.”

Julie Gerdes, Assistant Professor of Technical Communication and Rhetoric, Virginia Tech

I take on a small number of one-to-one coaching clients for each 12-week programme. If you are interested in working together, please get in touch to arrange an initial conversation.

In that conversation, we can discuss your project, what feels difficult at the moment, and whether this kind of coaching is the right fit.
