Turning evidence into understanding, learning and meaningful change

Good research should do more than sit in a report. It should help organisations understand people, improve services and make informed decisions.

I’m Dr Anna Kopec Massey, a researcher and educator with a PhD in Empathy and over 20 years of experience in education, including more than a decade in lecturing and research across Health and Social Sciences.

Through Wellbeing By The Seaside, I offer independent research, evaluation, educational development and consultancy support to organisations seeking thoughtful, evidence-informed approaches to their work.

HOW I CAN HELP

  • Research and Evidence Reviews: Literature reviews, evidence synthesis, desk research and accessible briefings to support projects, services and decision-making.
  • Programme Evaluation & Impact: Support with evaluation design, qualitative research, data analysis and reporting to help organisations understand experiences, outcomes and opportunities for improvement.
  • Education & Workshops: Research-informed talks, workshops, learning materials and educational sessions tailored to your organisation and audience.
  • Research Writing & Content Development: Clear, accessible reports, articles and educational resources that communicate complex information in ways people can understand and use.

My Approach: My work is grounded in research, empathy and a commitment to understanding people’s experiences.

I bring together academic rigour, practical communication and an appreciation of the social and human contexts in which organisations work. I am particularly interested in health, wellbeing, human connection, social justice and community-based initiatives.

Every organisation has different needs. Whether you require a focused piece of research, evaluation support, an educational workshop or help communicating evidence, I would welcome a conversation.

Projects are scoped and quoted individually according to requirements, timescales and deliverables.

Contact Anna to discuss your project.
