Experience
With over a decade of work across academic institutions, EU‑level programmes, and international organisations, I translate clinical and scientific parameters into competitive, feasible, and sustainably funded mental health and digital health initiatives. My background spans mental health strategy, digital innovation, research execution, and European funding environments, enabling organisations to align clinical integrity with strategic impact.
About me
A transdisciplinary foundation in mental health, scientific research, and digital innovation informs my consulting practice, which focuses on developing clinically robust and evidence‑based solutions. I am a psychologist with a PhD in Medical Research, supported by extensive clinical practice and continuous professional development in psychological ethics and evidence‑based practice.
My work with EU and international organisations, Horizon Europe consortia, research institutions, and digital health companies builds on more than 15 years of experience across mental health strategy, digital innovation, research execution, and European funding environments. This background ensures methodological integrity, ethical alignment, and strategic clarity across complex mental health and digital health projects.
I also maintain a separate clinical practice focused on expat mental health: mentalhealthspace.eu.
Frequently Asked Questions
What types of organisations do you typically consult for?
I support digital mental health start‑ups, Horizon Europe consortia, academic institutions, non‑profit healthcare organisations, and companies developing evidence‑based mental health or digital health initiatives.
Do you support full research execution or only design?
Both. I design studies, select outcome measures, guide methodology, and support end‑to‑end research execution, including monitoring and evaluation of research and innovation projects.
Can you help strengthen proposals for EU or institutional funding calls?
Yes. I review and refine proposals to ensure methodological rigour, structural clarity, competitive positioning, and evidence‑based justification aligned with Horizon Europe and other EU funding requirements.
Can you evaluate digital mental health products, DTx, or AI‑enabled tools?
Yes. I assess therapeutic logic, evidence‑base, outcome pathways, and psychological safety to determine whether digital mental health tools meet modern clinical, ethical, and regulatory standards.
How do consulting engagements typically begin?
Most engagements begin with a short outline of your project goals, timelines, or requirements. After reviewing your materials, I propose a structured plan aligned with your needs.
Do you work with early‑stage start‑ups?
Yes. Early‑stage teams often need structured guidance on clinical validation, evidence requirements, regulatory expectations, and methodological integrity, especially when preparing for pilots, partnerships, or funding.
Can you help us understand whether our digital mental health tool is clinically viable?
Yes. I evaluate therapeutic models, evidence base, risk factors, and user-safety considerations to determine whether a product is clinically viable, ethically sound, and ready for validation or funding.
Do you provide clinical therapy or counselling?
Consulting engagements focus on organisational, scientific, and strategic work. For individual therapy, my separate clinical practice is available at: mentalhealthspace.eu
What should organisations prepare before contacting you?
A brief outline of your project goals, timelines, requirements, or product details is sufficient. I typically respond within 2 business days.
Do you work according to psychological and clinical ethics?
Yes. My consulting practice follows established psychological ethical principles, clinical standards, and evidence‑based practice guidelines. Ethical considerations guide all evaluations, recommendations, and digital mental health assessments.
Can you evaluate AI‑enabled mental health tools for ethical and clinical safety?
Yes. I assess transparency, bias risks, decision logic, escalation pathways, and psychological safety to ensure AI‑enabled tools meet ethical, clinical, and evidence‑based requirements. My focus is on whether the system's design and evidence base support safe, responsible, and context‑appropriate use in mental‑health settings.
Can you help prepare AI‑related mental health projects for Horizon Europe or other EU funding?
Yes. I support teams in structuring proposals that meet Horizon Europe expectations for ethics, evidence justification, methodological integrity, and responsible AI design.
