PEOPLE

Meet the Team

Team Details
We're not like most other consultants.

We're not into management speak, padded out (expensive) reports, and death by PowerPoint.

We are into talking in plain English, reports that get straight to the point, and engaging conversations (and jokes).

Dr Elaine Gallagher

Behavioural Change Specialist
I am an Applied Environmental Psychologist and Behavioural Science consultant with over 10 years of experience helping organisations tackle complex sustainability and behaviour change challenges. I specialise in driving behavioural shifts in settings where people have little direct incentive to change, such as workplaces where sustainability efforts may not feel personally rewarding. I have a range of intervention design skills which are bespoke and adapted to the specific parameters and requirements of each challenge.

I am an experienced researcher with a range of related skills from research question design to execution, analysis and output delivery. I hold a PhD from the University of Bath, where I focused on designing behaviour change interventions to reduce environmental impact.
I have contributed to major EU Horizon 2020 programmes on circular economy, innovation adoption, social cohesion, and environmental risk, and currently sit on advisory boards for two large-scale projects (GoGREEN Routes and GoGREEN Next) aimed at improving urban wellbeing through nature-based solutions.

I also lecture part-time on the MSc in Environmental Psychology at Maynooth University, helping students apply behavioural science to real-world sustainability and societal challenges, while increasing skills in critical evaluation.

I have worked with global, enterprise clients to address organisational challenges through evidence-based, behavioural insights. My approach combines psychology and behavioural science to uncover hidden barriers and create tailored interventions that achieve lasting change.

My services:

Research: Literature review, barrier identification, focus groups, survey design, qualitative analysis, quantitative analysis

Delivery: Workshop design and facilitation, intervention design and delivery, behaviour change techniques
