Counselling for Professors & Students

"We, academics, should talk to each other more about how we actually spend our time, with all the anxieties, displacements, and failures that involves” – Maggie Berg

counselling for professors

Academia can be stressful, but you don't have to struggle alone

​

Are you a university professor, new grad, or a grad student who wants to learn sustainable ways of maintaining life-work balance, renew or foster your passion for teaching and research, or discover who you are beyond academia?

​

Is one or more of the following standing in your way of enjoying your life?

​

  • anxiety, depression

  • burnout

  • lack of life-work balance

  • finishing your dissertation

  • job search or sessional teaching

  • publication-related stress

  • relationships with colleagues or administration

  • stress from teaching difficult material (politics, climate change, racism, etc.)

  • tenure track or promotion stress and anxiety

  • post-academic career exploration or transition

​​

If any of these apply to you, counselling with me can help you feel better and thrive.

Get support from an insider

​

Non-academics don't always understand the unique stressors and pressures of being a university professor, a new grad on the job market, or a grad student struggling to finish their thesis.  

​

Counselling is my second career. My first and ongoing career is a university professor. I've been in academia for almost two decades, first as a student and then as a faculty, and understand what it's like to be a part of this world.
