Dissertation Coaching Services by Dr. Cara Weston-Edell
Isn’t it time to break free of the overwhelming cycle of stress and procrastination? Save substantial time, money and energy with professional dissertation coaching targeted specifically to your needs.
I support doctoral and masters students so they can successfully finish their dissertations, graduate and move on to the next fabulous phase of their lives. Individualized dissertation help that works!
You may be juggling work and family, as well as the demanding requirements of graduate studies. Procrastination, writer’s block and avoidance may be your current companions. Let me assure you: the feeling of drowning in constant anxiety and overwhelm doesn’t have to be a permanent state.
I understand the challenges because I’ve been there myself as a graduate student…and have worked successfully as a dissertation coach with many other students and colleagues who have as well. We made it to the other side of the graduation finish line and you can too.
I’ve coached many students just like you, in need of personalized Ph.D. guidance.
How I help you get to the finish line as your dissertation coach
Together, we clarify your current dissertation challenges, put a clear action plan in place that’s focused and doable and work together to make it happen, collaboratively and efficiently. Depending on your needs, I provide targeted feedback on all phases of the process, including your proposal development, literature review, research methodology and design, analysis, discussion, defence preparation, academic writing development and committee navigation. We will likely share a few laughs along the way!
Regular weekly meetings and ongoing email communication ensure accountability while providing individualized dissertation coaching services.

My Approach As Your Dissertation Coach
As your dissertation coach, I meet you where you are, taking into account your particular strengths, needs and challenges. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. The dissertation coaching services I provide goes beyond the mechanics of Ph.D. completion because your academic project does not take place in a vacuum. You may be working professionally full or part-time, raising a family, volunteering and managing many other real world tasks.
Together, we take a holistic look at where you are now with your project, your academic goals, your lifestyle and your desired timeline. We craft an individualized, strategic plan for dissertation completion that fits into your schedule as seamlessly as possible.
We’ll decide together which approach is right for you: a fast track, intensive approach with a firm deadline or a slower-paced dissertation process that maximizes every learning opportunity at your disposal. As you progress, we will revisit our strategies as required to keep your project moving forward.
My dissertation coaching services have helped countless students just like you. Let’s take you there!
My individualized support can help you make remarkable progress
The reality is that many dissertation students do not receive the support they need through their programs. Following the completion of coursework, it’s all too common for graduate students to be left alone to work through what can become an amorphous project without concrete deadlines. Added to this is the variable approaches dissertation chairs or supervisors can take to working with students.
While many supervisors provide effective guidance and are responsive, others are hands-off and provide very little help. Dissertation Complete Coaching meets the needs of doctoral and masters students who are not getting the support they require to make progress and graduate. All one-on-one dissertation clients work directly with Dr. Cara Weston-Edell and receive targeted mentorship as part of their coaching package.
