I offer mindfulness supervision in Cantonese.
Since participating in my first mindfulness program in 2011 and experiencing its benefits in managing insomnia and anxiety, I have been committed to promoting mindfulness to the public. I began teaching MBCT in 2014, and my interest in mindfulness has led me to focus my doctoral dissertation on its effectiveness for families of children with ADHD. The results of this research have been published in the academic journal Psychotherapy and Psychosomatics.
During the periods of 2017-18 and 2023-24, I participated in training as an Apprentice Trainer under the mentorship of the Trainers from Oxford Mindfulness, with the intention of becoming a Trainer for the Mindfulness Teacher Training Program. In 2024, I was officially appointed as a freelance Trainer with Oxford Mindfulness, wherein I contributed to the 12-Month MBCT Teacher Training Program held in Hong Kong, training and walking along with new MBCT teachers.
As a registered professional psychologist, I have collaborated with scholars from various universities in Hong Kong on a number of mindfulness-related research initiatives. I am also honored to serve as an Adjunct Assistant Professor at the Jockey Club School of Public Health and Primary Care at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, where I contribute to research and training at the CUHK Thomas Jing Centre for Mindfulness Research and Training.
It is both a privilege and a responsibility to serve as a mindfulness supervisor within the Mindfulness Network. I look forward to collaborating with other supervisors within the Network to walk along with the next generation of mindfulness teachers and to contribute to this valuable legacy.
