Neuro-affirming and LGBTQIA+ friendly remote adult-student mentor

Hi, I’m Sadie. I’m an experienced student mentor and learning support assistant with a background in neurodiversity, intersectionality, equality, diversity, academic skills, and Psychology. What I can support with: • Psychology study support (BSc and MSc level) • General student mentoring and academic confidence • Study skills and organisation • Academic writing and structure • Understanding assignment questions • Research skills and critical analysis • Body doubling to support focus, momentum, and task initiation • Signposting to relevant resources or services where helpful How I work: • Calm, patient, and empathetic • Neuro-affirming and LGBT+ friendly • Flexible and responsive to your needs • Present and supportive, without rushing • Gently challenging when helpful • Supportive of accountability through small goals, mini-deadlines, cheerleading, and celebrating wins (big or small) What you can expect: • Clear explanations, adapted if something doesn’t land the first time • A collaborative and respectful working relationship • Space to ask for clarification without judgement • Sessions that balance emotional safety and confidentiality, with practical progress. Boundaries, respect, and safeguarding: • I value transparency and mutual respect • If you need something explained differently, you are encouraged to say so • If at any point I feel a session needs to pause or end, I reserve the right to do so • If you need to cancel a session, please let me know at least 24 hours in advance. • I do not offer counselling or therapy; if I feel your needs fall outside my remit, I will signpost you to appropriate support where possible • If I am concerned about your safety or the safety of a vulnerable person, I will take appropriate safeguarding steps within my capacity. I have a duty to inform the necessary authorities and this would be the only time confidentiality is broken. I would discuss this with you first and ensure you understood the actions I was taking.
