I’m Dr. Ewa Pluciennicka, PhD in Cognitive Psychology, with 7 years of an academic career behind me, 2 post-docs, 9 international peer-reviewed publications...
But also countless nights without sleeping, a few experiments that didn’t work, machines that broke at the worst possible moment, publications that got rejected...
Despite that, I always had the energy and motivation to help and support my colleagues to overcome their PhD difficulties. I was so active, that some started to call me "PhD psychologist" or "PhD Mental Mentor"
In the beginning, it sounded like a joke.But recently, after almost 6 years of supporting and helping my colleagues in their PhD challenges (in an informal way), alongside my research, I decided to fully dedicate my time to supporting PhD students in their PhD struggles. Because that matters to me!
And all the rest went very fast. Colleagues of colleagues, friends of friends started to reach out and ask for advice about their PhD struggles. Many of them were not living in the same city; some were not even in the same country… So we started to do more things on-line and reach people from entire Europe. That's how PhD Success was born.
So no matter where you are, you can benefit from our resources, our inspiring community of like-minded PhD students and get a one-on-one consultation with me!
