I am providing this recommendation to Helen as she was my academic supervisor when I was undertaking a Masters by Research (MRes) degree. She provided unwavering support throughout the process by clearly communicating the academic expectations at postgraduate level.

Her calm and constructive approach was integral in helping me to develop my thesis to a standard necessary for submission and I am extremely grateful to Helen for all her time and energy.

I have known Helen for almost twenty years, since we studied together on the Postgraduate Certificate in Research Methodology in 2007.

One of Helen’s key strengths is her intellectually rigorous and reflective approach to tutoring. This is because she brings clarity and structure to teaching and supervision. For example, through our collaboration on several academic projects and the co-supervision of a PhD student, she has consistently demonstrated an ability to guide complex thinking while supporting students’ confidence and independence.

A further strength is her approachability and reliability as an educator. This is reflected in her warm, patient and dependable manner. Her communication is clear and thoughtful, and she takes time to adapt her explanations to individual learners’ needs. In practice, this is strengthened by her excellent clinical links and substantial clinical experience, which allow her to connect theory to real-world application.
