Not all research support is created equal. My consultancy service is designed specifically for small research agencies, independent consultants, and freelancers who are expanding into projects that demand strong qualitative or mixed-methods expertise. This is research consultancy for research consultancies: a partnership that helps you strengthen your own services, so you can deliver high-quality, ethically sound, and context-aware research for your clients.
Grounded, Relevant, and Responsible
When you are trusted with research on behalf of your clients, the stakes are high. It’s not only about gathering information — it’s about ensuring the process is robust, relevant, and responsible. With my background in Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI), I bring a perspective that goes beyond methodology to consider:
- Context – how the setting shapes what is possible and what matters
- Impact – ensuring findings are meaningful and actionable
- Integrity – keeping the process ethically sound and transparent
How I Can Support You
I work alongside you, not above you — building on your existing expertise and helping you integrate research practices that are accessible, relevant, and tailored to your project needs. Depending on your goals, this can include:
- Co-designing research projects with a strong qualitative or mixed-methods foundation
- Advising on stakeholder engagement and transdisciplinary approaches
- Providing methodological guidance at any stage of the project
- Helping make sense of qualitative or mixed-methods data in a way that speaks to your client’s objectives
- Reviewing and strengthening reports to ensure clarity, rigour, and practical relevance
My Approach
I see research as a process of collaboration and learning, not as an isolated academic exercise. My consultancy work is grounded in dialogue — listening closely to your needs, understanding the realities of your clients’ context, and tailoring methods so they are both rigorous and workable.
By combining methodological expertise with a sensitivity to real-world constraints, I help you:
- Deliver research your clients can trust and use
- Navigate complex projects with confidence
- Build capacity in your team for future research work
A Partnership for Better Research
This service is not about outsourcing your work — it’s about enhancing your capabilities so you can offer your clients research that is both ethically grounded and practically impactful. Whether you need targeted input for one project or an ongoing partnership, I can help you navigate the challenges of qualitative and mixed-methods research with clarity, integrity, and purpose.
If your next project could benefit from deeper qualitative or mixed-methods expertise, let’s start a conversation.
