Founder & Principal Research Consultant
HEALTH RESEARCH · STATISTICAL ANALYSIS · RESEARCH METHODOLOGY · EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS

I am the founder and Principal Research Consultant at Wells Research Consultancy, with more than 10 years of experience across health research, public health, statistical analysis and research methodology.

I work directly with organisations and research teams at different stages of the research lifecycle — from refining research questions and developing valid methodologies to analysing complex datasets, synthesising evidence, interpreting findings and supporting publication ready outputs.

My work combines quantitative, qualitative and mixed methods research, including statistical modelling, systematic reviews and meta-analysis, survey methodology, programme evaluation and advanced analytical approaches such as machine learning where appropriate.

I am drawn to projects where the research question, methodology or data is complex and where analytical thinking can materially strengthen the quality, interpretation and usefulness of the evidence.

THE WELLS APPROACH

More Than Technical Execution

Wells is designed to work as a research and analytical thinking partner — engaging with the question behind the work, not simply executing a predetermined analysis.
01

Methodology before mechanics

The analytical method should follow the research question — not the other way around.

02

Interpretation matters

Results are only useful when their meaning, limitations and implications are understood.

03

Direct specialist involvement

Clients receive senior methodological and analytical input throughout the project rather than being passed between teams.
