If you would like to talk to Dr. Jem Tosh about research that you are working on, or plan to work on in the future, you can book a research consultation. All consultations are conducted virtually due to COVID-19. Dr. Jem Tosh is an expert in the topics of psychology, gender, sexuality, trauma, violence, and abuse. If you are looking for help when writing about transgender and nonbinary people, or making sure that your writing and research about sexual abuse is gender inclusive - you've come to the right place. 

Dr. Jem Tosh can also help you with planning or completing a qualitative research project - particularly one that uses discourse analysis, intersectionality, is interdisciplinary, or draws on critical perspectives. She is experienced in collecting and analysing material from interviews, surveys, and focus groups, and her specialism is the analysis of archival material (both historical documents and contemporary texts such as online material and media texts). She will not tell you how to design or complete your project, but will answer questions and provide information based on her experience and expertise of research and publishing so that you can make informed decisions about how to move forward.

If you have questions around getting published or are thinking about writing your first book, these are also areas that Dr. Jem Tosh can speak about and provide advice and guidance on. If your project is ongoing, or you would like regular support, you can book multiple consultations in advance (and at a reduced rate). If you are looking for someone to join your PhD supervisory team, please check out the PhD Supervision page for more information.

Cancellation Policy

No cancellation fees for rescheduled appointments due to unforeseen circumstances (e.g. physical or mental health). For appointments cancelled with less than 24 hours notice (and not rescheduled) a one time fee of $30.00 is charged to reimburse us for the labour of preparing for the appointment. 

​

Payment

Late Fees

Late fees for non-payment start 30 days after the date of your appointment. The late fee is 15% per month. For example, if $100.00 was owed and unpaid after 30 days, $115.00 would be owed. If it remains unpaid after two months this would increase to $130.00 and so on. This is to ensure that we are reimbursed for our labour. If you are struggling to pay your invoice, contact us as soon as possible to arrange a payment schedule that fits your current situation. 

​

Confidentiality

Contents of consultations will remain confidential between Dr. Jem Tosh and the client, except in situations where there is a threat of harm to self or others. General discussions may also occur between Dr. Jem Tosh and professional colleagues or supervisors as is standard in the profession, but no specifics regarding a client's identity will be revealed. No photographs (i.e. screenshots) or screen recordings will be taken by Dr. Jem Tosh, and clients are not to take any photographs or recordings without prior written consent from Dr. Jem Tosh. 

​

Risks and Limitations

There are few risks associated with a consultation, unless discussing a difficult case or topic in which case you could become distressed due to vicarious trauma. In booking a consultation, it is assumed that you accept this risk and that you are familiar with discussing difficult cases/topics as a part of your work. The limitations of consultation are that it provides information and/or guidance based on research, it acknowledges the diversity of that research base, and cannot promise to solve all problems much like therapy cannot guarantee to heal all trauma. In booking a consultation, it is assumed that you accept that this consultation will provide you with information based on Dr. Jem Tosh's experience and expertise, that you consider her expertise appropriate for your query, that there are different perspectives available, and that it is ultimately your decision whether or not to use the information that Dr. Jem Tosh gives to you.
