THE WORK
What consulting is.
Six things I help with, in two groups. Pick any one to read about. The list stays with you while you read.
01
Guidance & strategy
Profile and competitiveness
I help you see where you stand, and where you can pull ahead.
What it is
A realistic read on where you stand. Where you're strong, where you look like everyone else, what would actually move the needle.
How I work
Detailed questionnaire before the session. We meet, I share my assessment, we build a path where you're competitive, not just eligible.
Who this is for
- Year 12, starting out
- Year 13, close to deadline
- Gap year, second attempt
- Graduate / mature applicant
- International applicant
- Re-applicant
Dimensions covered
- Predicted and achieved grades
- Work experience
- Volunteering
- Extracurriculars and personal qualities
- UCAT or GAMSAT scores
- Personal statement strength
- Your four-school list, and what each school weights
HOW I WORK
How I work.
Prep time included, not charged separately.
All the prep I do before your session is included. Before we meet I spend hours reading your materials, reviewing your practice, looking at your application. I don't charge for that time, and it's not counted in the session hours you book. So when we meet, work begins from minute one. We don't waste thirty minutes catching me up on basics.
Ongoing access between sessions.
WhatsApp me anytime between sessions to ask questions as they come up. You'll have your own dashboards and trackers built for you, and I send targeted resources between meetings. You can check in whenever, share an update, or ask me to review what you've been working on. I also reach out proactively across the season when I see something worth flagging.

Diagnostic
First session
£250
90 minutes, one to one with me.
A diagnostic across whichever service you came for. Standalone. Most students do this once, take the plan, and execute on their own.
- I prep before we meet. Form review, question-bank analysis, or prep-notes review
- We meet for 90 minutes. I tell you where you stand and what to do next
- After, you decide if you want to carry on. No pressure either way
Depth in one area
Focused Support
£1,500
6 hours of one to one with me, used across the cycle.
For students who want me involved at key moments. Personal statement, school choice, mock interviews, final review before submission.

- Hours never expire and can transfer to a sibling or someone you designate
- Message me anytime during the cycle

FAQ
Questions, answered.
Do I have to commit to a package after my first session?
No. Your first session is standalone. Many students need nothing beyond it, they leave with a clear plan and execute it themselves. If you want to continue, you choose the path: Focused Support or the Full Package.
Will I always work with Dr. Dibah personally?
Yes. Every session, from your first to your offer letter, is with me. Not 'our expert tutors,' not a matched professional you have never met. Same person, every time.
Can I add more hours later if I need to?
Yes. Existing clients can add 10-hour blocks for £2,000. Unused hours from any package are refunded proportionally.
Is there financial support available?
Yes. Financial support may be available for students from under-represented backgrounds. See my Widening Access page for details and how to apply.
Are parents and supporters welcome?
Always. Parents and supporters are welcome in every session, not just the first. Your whole support system is part of this.
How quickly can I get started?
Most students book their first session within a week or two. Booking opens slots up to 8 weeks in advance, and I keep priority slots for re-applicants and time-sensitive cycles.
I applied before and was rejected. Can you help?
Re-applicants are some of my strongest outcomes. We diagnose exactly what happened in your previous application, identify what to change, and rebuild a stronger application for the next attempt.
Do you work with international applicants?
Yes. I work with applicants across the UK, EU, and MENA. Sessions are by video call so location is rarely a barrier.
