Koni Lau

 

I am Koni, a final-year Psychology student at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. Being an online coach for the Jockey Club TourHeart+ project in our lab has aroused my interest in the delivery of low-intensity psychotherapies, leading me to the current position of being a psychological well-being practitioner trainee at Oasis under the Hospital Authority (HA). In addition, I am currently working on my thesis research to explore the relationship between Buddhist philosophy and psychological well-being under the supervision of Prof. Winnie Mak. I hope to further investigate the array of topics within the research field of psychopathology, as well as philosophical psychology, in the future.
