You're juggling data collection, analysis, writing, and maybe teaching responsibilities too.

The end of the year is approaching, and you're wondering if you'll ever get the momentum you need to make real progress on your research.

You know what you need to do.

You have the capability.

But between imposter syndrome, unclear priorities, and the overwhelming nature of the PhD journey, you're stuck spinning your wheels instead of moving forward.

What if the next 3 months could completely change your PhD trajectory?

Introducing: The 3-Month PhD Breakthrough Program. Your Personalized Roadmap to Research Confidence, Clarity, and Consistent Progress

This isn't just another coaching program.

This is your dedicated partner for the next 90 days - helping you break through the barriers holding you back and build unstoppable momentum toward your PhD goals.

Black Friday Special:
~€3,000~ €2,000 (Save €1,000)
Only 3 spots available | Offer expires November 29, 2025

This Program Is For You If:

✓ You're ready to stop procrastinating and start making consistent progress
✓ You want personalized support tailored to YOUR specific PhD challenges
✓ You're tired of feeling overwhelmed and want a clear, actionable plan

✓ You're coachable and willing to do the work (even when it's uncomfortable)

What's Included: Your Complete 3-Month Support System

🎯 90-Minute Intake & Goal-Setting Session

We start with a deep-dive session where you and I collaboratively identify your specific 3-month goal. This isn't vague - it's measurable, achievable, and tailored to your PhD stage.

Examples: Submit first-author manuscript. Complete dissertation chapter. Develop a clear research question and proposal outline.

📞 24 One-on-One Coaching Sessions (Twice Weekly for 12 Weeks)

Not once a week - twice weekly. 30-minute sessions that keep you accountable and ensure you're never stuck for long. Each session addresses where you are right now: obstacles, mindset blocks, next steps, and strategy adjustments.

This is 12+ hours of direct coaching time over 3 months - more frequent contact than most premium dissertation coaches.

💬 24-Hour Chat Support Between Sessions

Get stuck between sessions? Need immediate tactical help? Send a message and get a response within 24 hours. Quick strategy to keep you moving forward, then we will discuss deeper in our next session.

So you never spiral for days when challenges arise.

🗂️ Personalized Basecamp Project Management System

After your intake session, I spend ~5 days building your custom Basecamp workspace with:

• Reverse-planned timeline from where you are now to your 3-month goal

• Task breakdowns and clear next steps

• File storage for drafts and resources

• Session notes and summaries

• Custom templates and frameworks

You keep this forever. After 3 months, you retain access to all systems, templates, and notes as your ongoing toolkit.

⚡ The SPARK Framework: Proven Methodology Used with 40+ PhD Students

Your coaching is guided by my proprietary 5-pillar framework that's been tested and refined with doctoral students worldwide:

S - Systems & Structure: Creating workflows and academic toolkits tailored to your style

P - Progress & Planning: Setting milestones and navigating uncertainties

A - Accountability & Achievement: Maintaining momentum and celebrating wins

R - Resilience & Relationships: Balancing wellbeing with productivity

K - Knowledge & Know-how: Strengthening research methods, writing, and communication

I adapt these elements to your specific situation - there's no fixed curriculum, just responsive coaching that meets you where you are.

🎯 Dual-Focus Approach: Output + Emotional Support

Unlike other coaching that focuses only on dissertation mechanics or only on mindset, this program integrates both:

• Output-focused: Produce tangible results appropriate for your stage

• Emotion-focused: Process mindset blocks, reduce anxiety, rebuild confidence

Your goal serves as the vehicle. As you work toward it, emotional obstacles surface naturally and are addressed through strategies in sessions and chat.

What You'll Achieve in 3 Months:

By the end of this program, you will have:

✅ Completed (or made significant progress on) your primary goal - the manuscript submitted, chapter finished, proposal developed, etc.

✅ Built sustainable systems - tracking, accountability, writing habits, energy management that work for YOU

✅ Gained tools and templates you keep forever - frameworks you can apply to every future PhD challenge

✅ Developed capability to continue independently - you're not dependent on the coach, you have the systems to keep going

✅ Processed key mindset blocks - imposter syndrome, perfectionism, overwhelm addressed as they arise

In 40+ students coached, I have never had a student fail to achieve their goal due to not doing the work. When external obstacles arise (unresponsive advisors, data issues), I provide immediate tactical support to navigate or pivot accordingly.

Why Work With Me?

I understand the PhD journey from the inside. I started as a dissertation coach working exclusively with ABD students, then expanded to serve PhD students at all stages - because I saw how many brilliant students were struggling alone in years 2, 3, and 4 with nowhere to turn.

My expertise:

• Proven track record with 40+ PhD students worldwide

• Field-agnostic approach that works across all disciplines (STEM to humanities)

• Focus on producing tangible research outputs while supporting emotional well-being

I provide:

• Guidance and strategy (not doing the work for you)

• Accountability and structure (twice-weekly contact keeps you on track)

• Emotional support specific to PhD challenges (not therapy, but understanding)

• System-building for long-term success (not dependency)

I will not work with:

• Students needing clinical therapy

• Students who've decided to quit their PhD

• Students are expecting me to do their work

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: What if I'm not in year 2-5? Can I still join?

A: Yes! The program serves PhD students at any stage. Year 1 students who want to set up foundational systems are welcome, as are ABD students finishing dissertations. The key is having research in progress or being ready to set up systems.

Q: Do I get to interact with other PhD students in the program?

A: No - this is purely 1-on-1 coaching. You never interact with other students. I serve as your primary source of connection, support, and accountability throughout the 3 months.

Q: What happens after 3 months?

A: You keep all your systems, templates, and Basecamp access forever. You have the capability to continue independently. Many students choose to renew for another 3-month cycle to work on their next goal, but it's not required.

Q: Is this program suitable for all PhD disciplines?

A: Absolutely. I don't need expertise in your specific field - I bring an objective coaching perspective that works across disciplines. I've successfully worked with students in STEM, humanities, social sciences, and more.

Q: Can I pay in installments for the Black Friday price?

A: Yes, payment plans up to 8 monthly installments (€250/month) are available.

A: Life happens! There's a flexible rescheduling policy - just provide reasonable notice and you'll reschedule for another time.

The Reality Check:

You have two paths:

Path 1: Continue trying to figure this out alone. Keep telling yourself you'll make progress tomorrow. Watch another semester slip by feeling stuck, isolated, and questioning whether you're capable of this. Risk becoming part of the 40-50% who don't complete their PhD.

Path 2: Invest €2,000 (€1,000 less than regular price) in 3 months of intensive support from someone who's guided 40+ PhD students through exactly what you're facing. Achieve a tangible goal. Build systems that serve you forever. Enter 2026 with momentum instead of dread.

This offer ends November 29th. Only 3 spots available.

The PhD doesn't have to be this isolating. You don't have to spin in circles alone anymore.

What Students Say

"I came in feeling lost and burned out. Within 6 weeks, I had a system that actually worked, daily motivation that kept me going, and for the first time, I felt like I wasn't alone in this. The emotional support was as important as the practical strategies."
— Sarah M., Psychology PhD, Stanford

"The daily messaging kept me motivated even on the worst days. It felt like having a coach, cheerleader, and accountability partner all in one - exactly what I needed to move through my research phase."
— Thomas T., Sociology, University of Crete

"I thought I had to figure this out alone. This program showed me that asking for support was actually the smartest thing I could do. I'm not just surviving my PhD - I'm actually enjoying it now."
