palabras is an academic coaching practice founded in 2025 by Agustina Vázquez Furgiuele. It brings together her background in psychology, over a decade of academic work and her international experience as a student.

Based in London, palabras supports master’s and PhD students, as well as early-career academics. It offers individual sessions to enable both intellectual and personal growth.

Palabras means “words” in Spanish, Agustina’s mother tongue. Spoken or written, words are the medium through which the practice is built; the elements that create room for subjective expression and transformation.
