Undertaking a PhD is both an exciting and challenging experience. It can be an emotional roller-coaster.
The excitement of working on something you care about, exploring new ideas and making a contribution to knowledge.
The challenges of feeling isolated and overwhelmed, dealing with setbacks, uncertainty, conflict and loss of motivation. Inevitably over the course of your PhD you will experience times when things aren’t going so well. This workshop draws on evidence-based strategies to help YOU stay well during your PhD.

- Dealing with isolation, lack of structure and loss of motivation.
- Procrastination, perfectionism and over-committing.
- Disagreements with supervisors and other colleagues.
- Support for more serious mental health issues.
