Consultation Service
What does our consultation service involve?
Through our consultation service, we can speak to you free of charge to determine which aspects of you wellbeing and productivity we can help to enhance.
We’ll have an initial prioritisation call, after which we’ll go away and find the best interventions based on your individual circumstances and preferences. Using our team’s research expertise, we’ll scour the best available evidence to understand what is most likely to benefit you and the best approach to implementing it.
We then pass these findings on to you, checking in with your progress and offering alternative solutions where appropriate.
Who is the service for?
Our mission at Effective Self-Help is to empower people to improve their lives by providing them with wellbeing and productivity advice that brings tangible benefit. As part of this, we believe that we can make a meaningful contribution to addressing the world’s most pressing problems by providing support to people working on these issues.
If you’re struggling with a specific aspect of your wellbeing and productivity that we haven’t yet covered, we’d love to offer you more specific, tailored support.
In particular, we’re excited to offer this service to people who are dedicating their work or study to the most important issues of our time. We make no claims to expertise on what issues this includes, but to provide a few examples we’d love to speak to people involved in:
- Finding the best ways to improve the lives of the world’s poorest and most disadvantaged people, whether that’s advocating for better international aid, minimising the impacts of the climate crisis, or improving people’s lives directly through economic and healthcare interventions.
- Researching effective solutions to potential existential threats to humanity, from aligning artificial intelligence and preventing the next global pandemic to improving global co-operation and fostering better public discourse.
- Improving the lives of the 70 billion animals killed for food each year, helping to expand our moral circles and minimise global suffering.
If in doubt, apply!
This is a new service that we’re excited to offer and we’d love to help as many people as we can. While we are particularly excited to support people working to make the world a better place, this isn’t a pre-requisite to applying.
In particular, we appreciate that you may have a strong desire to improve the lives of others but may not yet have had much chance to demonstrate this!
