Book Your 60-Minute SessionYou’re Trying So Hard — But It Still Feels Like You’re Falling Behind
You keep telling yourself to get it together. You make endless to-do lists, stay up late, promise you’ll start earlier next time — yet the pressure never lets up.
Maybe you:
- Re-read the same paragraph five times and still can’t focus.
- Feel anxious every time grades or feedback are mentioned.
- Compare yourself to classmates who seem calm and confident.
- Wonder if you picked the wrong program or if you’re even smart enough to be here.
- Say yes to everything because you’re afraid to disappoint people.
You’re not lazy. You’re not broken. You’re just overwhelmed from trying to do everything perfectly all at once.
Let’s Make School Manageable Again
In coaching, we’ll look at what’s actually making it hard to focus or feel confident — and build habits that fit who you are.
Together, we’ll:
- Figure out what’s draining your motivation and how to get it back.
- Create simple routines that work with your energy, not against it.
- Learn quick tools to calm your mind before exams, presentations, or deadlines.
- Shift from “I’m never doing enough” to “I know what matters today.”
You’ll leave the session knowing exactly what to do next — and finally believing you can do it.

“Imagine a moment when you was hopeless and lost all of your motivation. You woke up and saw all the walls around you. You did not even want to get out of your bed, so you just paused there looking at your ceiling. Your mind was blank. Your heart was empty… I was hopeless and hurt. That feeling tortured me daily. I was torn apart into pieces, and those pieces were torn apart into smaller pieces the next day.
I was on a Zoom appointment with Dr. Hutchins. First time I had so many doubts… she immediately knew how to approach a broken person. Every single word she said meant empathy in it. It was energy… I was lucky that I met Dr. Hutchins. Dr. Hutchins initiated a healing process. After the Zoom meeting, I started working in a different aspect. I successfully won the first semester.
Sometimes, all you need to do is an initiation to push you forward. Dr. Hutchins gave me a gentle push. Thank you, Dr Hutchins!”
