Dr Vikki Wright - the PhD Life Coach
It sometimes feels like everyone in academia feels overwhelmed, undervalued, and exhausted.
It doesn't have to be like this.
I help PhD students feel better, get their work done more easily, and build lives they enjoy again.
I was an award winning Professor and I set up The PhD Life Coach to help students like you.
There are three main ways I do that.
1 - my podcast and free webinars!
Every Monday, I release a new episode of the PhD Life Coach podcast where I give you all the advice, insights, and pragmatic tips that you don't hear anywhere else!
If you subscribe to my newsletter, you'll get the TLDR of the podcast AND exclusive invites to my free monthly webinars.
2 - my university webinars
A great way to test out whether you like my more in-depth support is to persuade your university to book me! My online (and occasionally live) workshops focus on the challenges that ACTUALLY make doing a PhD difficult - things like overwhelm, procrastination, and imposter syndrome.
I even have an invite pack that you can send to your university to give them all the information that they need to book me.
3 - The PhD Life Coach membership!
If you're bored of trying to do this alone, or you've bought every planner going and you STILL aren't feeling on top of your to do list, then you need The PhD Life Coach membership!
This is YOUR space, to get the support you need to overcome procrastination, build your confidence, and start enjoying your PhD again! You get access to group coaching, online courses, coworking spaces, and a private podcast.
It's my favourite place to be - come join us!
“Vikki’s support and expertise has been invaluable in managing my procrastination, battling my feelings of inadequacy, and mastering the art of making and sticking to plans. With Vikki’s help, I've not only conquered academic hurdles but have also cultivated a newfound sense of self-assurance and resilience. I am endlessly grateful for her transformative impact and unwavering support. I know that I couldn’t have finished my PhD without her help!”

"Vikki's coaching sessions have been a saviour for me. They have made me feel supported, seen and understood, as well as giving me the tools to start being kinder to myself. Vikki is kind, compassionate and so knowledgeable about the academic environment and how to coach for it. I would 100% recommend her coaching to everyone regardless of where you are on your academic journey!

Why choose the PhD Life coach?
Senior academic experience plus life coach training
I get academia. I reached full Professor, have supervised many PhD students, mentored senior staff to promotions and national awards, and I am a double-accredited life coach.
Develop your reflective practice as well as expert support
One-on-one coaching is amazing, but I want to you to be able to look after yourself without me too! I teach you how to understand your mind and coach yourself to achieve your goals.
I want you to thrive, not just to cope with adversity
My coaching isn't designed to make you "resilient" so that you just cope with more and more difficult times. I help you feel empowered to support yourself and change your experience.
