Testimonials
"I met Laura Wilde at the end of the second year of my PhD, and her guidance has kept me on track and in a positive frame of mind for the duration. I can categorically attribute my good mental health throughout the process to Laura's input. She is kind, knowledgeable, generous with her time and expertise, and a consummate professional. I don't know how I would've done it without her." R D Postlethwaite (PhD Candidate)
"I crawled to Laura in the darkest days of my PhD. That was around the end of my first year PhD when my main supervisor suddenly left while my co-supervisors were in different universities. Not long after that, the pandemic came and I was unable to visit any care home to collect my data. My research stuck, I was in trauma, and my health was heavily deteriorated. Laura has been an exceptional mentor to me, both in academia and in life. She listened closely and gave me a series of helpful advice. Laura was a former PhD in my research centre, our journeys were similar in many ways, and she kindly shared her own experiences which were extremely valuable to me. The most precious parts of the mentoring were strengthening my mentality and shaping me a better version of myself rather than transforming me to anyone else’s perspective. Laura has always been a trustworthy supporter who walked beside me through the PhD journey, until I passed my Viva (with minor corrections). Without Laura, I don’t think I can even submit my thesis. I cannot thank her enough for her exceptional patience, knowledge, and kindness." Bob Nguyen (PhD Student, Centre for Intelligent Healthcare, Coventry University)
"Laura talked me through qualitative data in a way that was clear and understandable. There was no academic jargon, and Laura provided practical tips, using my own research topic for examples, on how to begin tackling the analysis. I cannot express enough how valuable and worthwhile this coaching with Laura was. It was the breakthrough I needed. Within 2 days I had analysed all my Qual data, and began writing it up. And do you know what – I loved the process and loved the richness the data has bought to my research. Thank you laura." Pauline [Pseudonym]
"I emailed Laura for some guidance on word formatting. I was in write-up mode and had set out my first full draft ready to send to my supervisors. It was a mess. I had attempted (very badly) formatting the document and adding a tables and figure page. But it wasn’t great. Laura sat with me and went over word formatting abilities (wow – who knew word did all of that amazing stuff)! After the consultation I had a properly formatted thesis, with referencing, along with lots tips on how to keep the thesis updated regularly." Karen (DBA student)
