Dr Michelle Constable is a Chartered Health Psychologist, registered with the Health Care Professions Council (HCPC, UK). She has more than 15 years’ experience of applying behavioural science in practice, developing interventions at individual, community and population levels.

Michelle’s speciality is translating research into practice and strategically embedding behavioural science across organisations and systems. This is achieved by developing innovative processes, tools, resources and training, all of which enhance working practices.

Michelle has pioneered the use of behavioural science, establishing a leading behavioural science unit, embedded within a large public sector organisation. This expert group leads on projects across a wide range of disciplines, for example, health, sustainability and workplace transformation. The application of behavioural science has resulted in new and innovative approaches to understanding business challenges, increased engagement with services, and improved business processes.

Michelle is joint lead author of the Behavioural and Social Sciences Strategy for England, Improving People's Health: Applying behavioural science and social sciences to improve population health & well-being in England (PHE, 2018).

In 2014, Michelle co-founded the Behavioural Science and Public Health Network (BSPHN), a charitable organisation that develops and supports behavioural science communities of practice across the UK. Her passion for, and commitment to, behavioural science is evidenced by her ongoing involvement in this organisation as well as advising on both local and national behavioural science agendas to support the implementation of the strategy across the UK.

The Behavioural Scientists builds on this work and brings together a unique offer for organisations in the Middle East to support and develop their behaviour change agenda.
