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.
I offer:
1:1 coaching and small-group wellbeing workshops for everyone
Online skills training workshops for researchers
Tailored skills training and wellbeing workshops for universities and research funders
Research communications consultancy for healthcare, neuroscience and psychology
For everyone
-
Need a calm, nonjudgemental space to figure out what you want from life?
I know that feeling. Let’s have a chat.
-
Not sure what you're feeling or how to deal with it?
I’ve been there. Let’s figure it out together in one of my online small-group wellbeing workshops.
-
Looking for a tailored wellbeing workshop for your team or organisation?
Heck yeah, I love doing those.
For individual researchers and academics
-
Stress of academia getting you down?
Academia can be the absolute worst. Whether you want help dealing with the horrors that academia can throw at you, support in figuring out how and when to say no, or to learn a coping technique that isn’t meditation, I’ve got your back.
-
Trying to figure out what you need out of your life?
In academia, the emphasis is almost always on the research, not on the people doing it. I flip that on its head, providing a grounded, nonjudgemental space in which I support you in figuring out what you want and how to go about making it a reality.
-
Looking for a workshop to help you develop the skills you need as a researcher?
Awesome! I have a lot of fun combining my love of teaching and training with my weapons-grade enthusiasm for research.
-
Want some 1:1 support with research communication skills?
Wonderful! You can book time with me to work on whatever aspects of research communication you'd like to develop your skills in.
-
Need a consultant with expertise in 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.
-
Rather pay an expert to do the research communications element of your project?
No problem! You can hire me to do just that.
For organisations
-
Tailored wellbeing workshops for any organisation
If you’re looking for someone to create and deliver an online or in-person workshop tailored to the specific wellbeing needs of your team or organisation, I’d love to hear from you.
-
Skills development workshops for universities and research funders
If you employ or fund researchers and you’re looking for someone to deliver online or in-person skills development workshops on topics like research communication, public speaking, or coping with conferences, I’d love to talk.
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.
