Profile Summary

Dr Anastasia Gkargkavouzi PhD in Environmental Psychology | Research & Sustainability Consultant I am an Environmental Psychology researcher with a PhD and strong interdisciplinary training in pedagogy, sustainable management of aquatic resources, and environmental behaviour research. My work focuses on ecological motives, pro-environmental behaviour, and public perceptions of environmental issues, with publications in peer-reviewed international journals (see Google Scholar). I support academics, NGOs, research institutes, and sustainability-focused organisations with high-quality research services, including: ✓ Literature reviews & theoretical framework development, ✓ Survey design, questionnaires, validation, and psychometric analysis, ✓ Quantitative and qualitative data analysis (SPSS & smartPLS expert level), ✓ Academic writing, editing, and proofreading (articles, reports, policy briefs), ✓ Research methodology support (environmental & social sciences), ✓ Impact assessment and evaluation of sustainability interventions. I have extensive experience working on environmental, climate, and sustainability-related topics, translating complex scientific findings into clear, evidence-based insights for both academic and non-academic audiences. I am reliable, detail-oriented, and used to working independently and remotely on international projects. I offer ethical research support services and collaborate closely with clients to ensure clarity, rigor, and timely delivery. If you are looking for an experienced researcher who combines strong methodological skills with deep expertise in environmental behaviour and sustainability, I would be happy to support your project.
