Hi, I’m Dr Clare Jonas!
I’m a former psychology researcher with 10 years’ experience of working in research communications and 20 years’ experience of mentoring, coaching and pastoral care in academia and other environments.
By combining all of the above, I can help you with anything from crafting messages about research that get your audience’s attention to figuring out what you want from your career and how to go about getting it.
Wellbeing and career support for researchers
-
Need a calm, nonjudgemental space to talk about the things that you can’t say to your supervisor or your manager?
I know that feeling.
-
Finding it difficult to cope with the horrors that academia can throw at you?
I’ve been there.
-
Looking for a tailored wellbeing workshop for your team or organisation?
Heck yeah, I love doing those.
Research communications consultancy and training
-
Need some expert advice on research communication and engagement for healthcare, neuroscience or psychology?
Good news! I’ve got extensive experience in this field and I’d love to help.
-
Want to develop your research communication and engagement skills?
Awesome! I have a lot of fun combining my love of teaching and training with my weapons-grade enthusiasm for research comms. Come for the skills development, stay for the dad jokes.
-
Rather pay an expert to do the research communications element of your project?
No problem! You can hire me to do just that.
And now, some highly specific scenarios you might be thinking about…
-
"I'm not sure I want to work in academia any more!"
I’ve been in your shoes. Let’s talk.
-
"I'm drowning in the expectations of my neurotypical workplace!"
I was diagnosed with ADHD in my 30s. Wanna speak with someone who gets it?
-
"But Clare, I'm not even a researcher!"
Neither am I any more! No matter what your job is, or even if you aren’t working, I’m more than happy to chat with you so we can figure out if I’m the right person to support you with your career and wellbeing.
