Hear from Those I’ve Supported.

  • Chiron App | Development Team

    “Fantastic knowledge of digital health behaviours, and the research behind it. Dorothy provided workshop style sessions to a team building a new digital health app which is focused on changing behaviours - we all found the experience to be very helpful and it has certainly changed our practice/designs.”

  • Suffolk County Council | Dr Angela Fletton, Head of Behavioural Insights

    “I have recommended Dorothy to several professionals across the region. Her technical understanding of behaviour and behaviour change lends itself well to supporting many projects in the public sector. Her knowledge, skills and positive attitude mean that it’s always a pleasure to work with her.”

  • Wakey | Dr Marilis Oeren, Chief Research Officer

    “Amazing work! The work was presented in a systematic (COM-B model as framework) and coherent way. The list of the literature was very useful.”

  • Smoke Free App | Dr David Crane, Founder, CEO

    “Dorothy is a prompt, very professional and reliable consultant. She has a good understanding of factors relevant to uptake and engagement with health apps and the importance of evaluating these to assess effectiveness. I highly recommend working with her!”

  • Open Health Digital Initiatives | Dr Olga Perski, Co-Director, Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Research Fellow,

    “Having collaborated with Dorothy on several projects focused on behaviour change and digital health, I’ve found her to be a very professional and incredibly dedicated researcher who cares deeply about the work she is undertaking. Her qualitative and quantitative research skills are excellent, she has in-depth knowledge of behavioural science, and she can make project findings accessible to multiple audiences. I warmly recommend her.”

  • NHS England | Dan Berry, Head of Behavioural Science

    “Dorothy worked with the NHS England team creating an 'alpha' version of new wellness and prevention services for the NHS App. Dorothy provided iterative, timely, and practical advice, using rapid evidence reviews and behaviour change frameworks to inform agile design. She was excellent at turning potentially off-putting jargon into actionable insights for designers. I would not say this of all similar expert behavioural scientists!”

  • Suffolk County Council | Emma Dixon

    “Dorothy was very helpful in providing us with an hour long workshop at relatively short notice for our first ever youth conference. We wanted to empower young people and get them understand how behaviour change works and how best to use that knowledge in helping change behaviour around them. We had great feedback from her workshop!”

  • Norwich and Norfolk University Hospitals | TOSCA Clinical Team

    “Dorothy was friendly and professional. She demonstrated a good knowledge of relevant health behaviour change theories and their applications, explained them clearly, and worked hard to apply them to the project data in a way that would be helpful to the wider team.”
