Craig Donnachie is a Lecturer in the Department of Psychological Sciences and Health at the University of Strathclyde, United Kingdom, since 2023. He accepts PhD students and develops evidence-based health behaviour change interventions by integrating psychological theory with social and public health perspectives, with special focus on nature-based approaches, physical activity, diet, weight management, and mental wellbeing.
His academic qualifications include:
- Doctor of Philosophy, University of Glasgow (2016)
- Master of Science in Health Psychology, University of Stirling (2010)
