Consultant – London office
Elliot Negru is a Research Consultant in the London office. He has an academic background in Psychology and Early Childhood Studies and has recently completed a Masters in Clinical Mental Health. He works across a range of areas including mental health, children and young people and employability, specialising in LGBTQ+ health, gender, loneliness and wellbeing. Elliot is experienced in both quantitative and qualitative research methodologies, with an interest in involving stakeholders as much as possible in every aspect of the research process. He wishes to bring a youthful and contemporary perspective to research and to better understand how LGBTQ+ individuals navigate both their mental health and sexuality/gender identity and how interventions that help reduce minority stress and poor psychological outcomes can be promoted.
