Starting to think about university can easily feel like a daunting process for both students and parents. The first question that parents often ask is "How do we even begin to narrow down thousands of courses?" My answer is that we do not start with the courses, we start with the student. 

Through considering your child’s unique 'academic DNA'—their natural strengths and interests, the environments where they thrive, and the subjects they have studied - I can support you in navigating options with a clear, evidence-based strategy that puts your child’s interests and future career plans at the centre.

Choosing a university isn't just about the lecture hall. I help parents analyse the 'wrap-around' factors that truly impact a student's happiness and success—from student-teacher ratios and graduate employability records to elective societies, clubs and wider opportunities—ensuring the environment is as supportive and tailored towards your child's interests and character as the education. Additionally, I support parents with children who are searching over a broad geographical area with research and data which allows families to assess the suitability of locations, such as local living costs, infrastructure and culture.

I provide a comprehensive roadmap that transforms what can feel like a daunting application process into a structured, calm journey . From helping your child craft a UCAS Personal Statement or Application Essay that captures their voice and emphasises their unique achievements and qualities, to meeting key deadlines and preparing for interviews, I provide support, guidance and coaching throughout.
