Academic mentoring for students - Improve your essay writing skills and overall wellbeing

Hi, I'm Danielle, I'm a mental health practitioner, counsellor and certified coach.
I know how overwhelming university life can feel sometimes. Every student’s journey is different, which is why the support I offer is built around you—your needs, your challenges and your goals.

With 14 years of experience in the healthcare field, working in both the NHS and private sector, my background is not only clinical but also involves supervising and assessing junior colleagues and students in practice settings. This experience has given me a deep understanding of the pressures students face, especially in high-stress environments. It has shaped the way I support students today, helping them feel more capable, resilient and in control of their academics and well-being.

As a Professional Mentor at the University of East London, I help students develop useful skills, stay on track with their studies and feel more prepared for uni life and beyond. Alongside this, I work as a Freelance Specialist Mentor, supporting higher education students with diagnosed mental health conditions, Specific Learning Difficulties (SpLD) and Autism Spectrum Conditions (ASC).

What can I help you with:
- We can create a study plan that plays to your strengths and works for you.
- I can help you stay on top of deadlines and structure your workload in a way that feels manageable.
- I can help you build confidence in academic skills and essay writing
- If you’re struggling to stay focused or feeling unmotivated, we’ can work together to find strategies that keep you engaged and on track.

University life can be stressful, but I can help you develop techniques to manage pressure, reduce anxiety and create a healthier balance. So whenever you’re ready, reach out. Take the first step in making things easier, more manageable and less stressful.
