About

My work focuses on practically applying behaviour change research from a variety of domains (e.g. persuasion, performance and habit formation) to real world problems. I develop behaviour change intervention programmes which improve health, quality of life and productivity at the individual, group/organisational and population levels. I also engage related project management and research services. My work involves a broad range of behaviour change techniques/methods and have special interest in unconscious-processing and habit formation. My current contract is focused on strategic oversight and practical implementation of the HIOW STP prevention at scale agenda, from a behaviour change perspective (e.g. MECC, health coaching). The aim of my role is to embed behaviour change throughout the health and social care system.
