“I simply would not have been able to complete the thesis without Lesley’s support. By the end I was really close to a mental breakdown. The strain of putting thoughts down into a written format of this length and then all the going over for comprehension and readability was greater than I had envisaged. Lesley kept supporting me to unpick my written tangles and make sense whilst remaining confident in my ability despite my increasing feeling I could not complete. What’s more she was so good at making sure she did not intervene in the theory or argument and retained a distance.”
