Dr Dorothy Szinay

Health Psychologist, Researcher & Evaluation Consultant

A woman with curly brown hair wearing a blue sweater, looking at the camera with a neutral expression against a plain beige background.

My work is grounded in understanding people in context: how experiences, environments, systems, relationships and opportunities shape behaviour, wellbeing and change.

As an HCPC-registered Health Psychologist, researcher and evaluation consultant, I work across applied research, programme and service evaluation, behaviour change consultancy, therapy, and supervision and mentoring for health psychologists.

Across these areas, I aim to make psychological science useful, compassionate and practical. Whether evaluating programmes, supporting professionals or working with individuals, my focus is on making sense of complexity, understanding what works and why, and supporting informed decisions and meaningful change.

How I can help

  • An indoor office space with large floor-to-ceiling windows, a tall potted plant, a laptop on a long wooden table, and white chairs, with city buildings visible outside.

    Research, Evaluation and Behaviour Change Consultancy

    Consultancy for organisations developing, improving or evaluating services, programmes, digital tools or interventions that aim to support health, wellbeing, prevention, health promotion or behaviour change.

    E.g. intervention development, evaluation, applied research, training, strategic advisory work, retainer support and fractional behavioural science leadership.

    Research and Evaluation
  • A cozy living room with two mustard-yellow armchairs facing each other, a potted Monstera plant in between, white curtains in the background, and soft lighting from two tall floor lamps.

    Supervision and Mentoring

    Reflective, psychologically informed supervision and mentoring for practitioners, trainees, coaches, researchers and professionals working in health, psychology, behaviour change, neurodiversity or wellbeing-related roles.

    E.g. support for professional development, building confidence, setting boundaries, following reflective practice and working with complexity.

    Supervision and Mentoring
  • A cozy modern interior with sunlight casting shadows on a gray armchair, a wooden table with a glass of water, a tissue box, and documents. A white windowsill holds a glass bowl with apples and a potted plant.

    Therapy and Coaching

    Psychological therapy and coaching for neurodivergent adults, including people with ADHD or autism, and for couples where neurodivergence is part of the relationship.

    E.g. support for emotional well-being, self-understanding, relationships, confidence, burnout, anxiety, long-term health conditions and everyday coping.

About Me

I am a Chartered and HCPC-registered Health Psychologist, researcher and evaluation consultant. My work spans applied research, programme and service evaluation, behaviour change, public health, digital health and psychological practice.

I am particularly interested in understanding what works, for whom and in what contexts, and how psychological and behavioural science can inform better services, interventions and outcomes. My areas of interest include neurodiversity, emotional wellbeing, relationships, long-term health conditions, inclusive practice and public health.

I work with organisations through research, evaluation and behaviour change consultancy; with individuals through therapy and coaching; and with health psychologists through supervision and mentoring. Across these areas, my approach is evidence-informed, compassionate and grounded in real-world practice.
