Grad Life Coaching
Grad life coaching appointments are here to support your holistic journey through graduate studies.
By booking an appointment, you can speak with Meghan about your experiences as a Western graduate student on topics that include, but are not limited to:
- Transitioning into and out of grad school
- Academics and goal setting
- Leadership and professional development
- Wellness and well-being
- Social life on campus
- Community-building
As a former Western graduate student and current staff member, Meghan is here to help you navigate Western’s resources, programs, services, and supports, and can work with you to develop short- and long-term plans that support your thriving through graduate studies.
Keep in mind, coaching appointments are not a counselling or advising service. Coaching sessions are designed to guide your journey as a graduate student by helping you develop a plan that accounts for your holistic goals and then connect you with the relevant campus experts to put that plan into action.

Hi! I'm Meghan O’Hara, Program Specialist, Graduate Student Life. I've been connected to Western for a number of years: I completed both my MA and PhD in English here (2012; 2017), and have worked in Student Experience since 2021. With my knowledge of Western's various programs and resources available to graduate students, I'm here to support graduate students navigate Western’s resources and build a plan that will see them thrive throughout their graduate studies. I am also a Gallup Certified Strengths Coach, and bring a strengths-based approach to coaching graduate students. Everyone's path through grad life is unique, and I look forward to connecting with you to talk about yours!
