LAU Pui Chi Joanna obtained her Master of Social Sciences in Educational Psychology from the University of Hong Kong in 2016, and has since accumulated extensive experience working with students across various education levels and backgrounds, from primary school children to university adolescents. Her experience allows her to devise holistic and developmentally appropriate support strategy to address the varying cognitive, emotional, and social needs of students.
Joanna’s work as an educational psychologist covers a vast scope of critical and developmental support, including comprehensive psycho-educational assessments in areas of cognitive functioning, learning difficulties, social-communication adjustment, adaptive functioning, attention difficulties and executive functioning. She works with students facing learning, social, or behavioural challenges, such as SpLD, ASD, AD/HD, and offers interventions. Joanna also works closely with parents and schools/ faculty to formulate tailored support plans, provide consultations regarding students’ diverse academic and emotional needs, address urgent issues, and offer advise on school’s policy regarding long-term sustainable support. With the dedication to create an inclusive environment and provide all-rounded support, Joanna also leads group trainings and workshops to raise awareness among school staff and peers.

Joanna believes that every person possesses unique abilities and qualities that can be harnessed to overcome challenges and achieve personal growth. She understands that each individual’s journey is unique, and she strives to create a safe, supportive and opened environment where people feel valued and understood, through which she can empower them to recognize their own strengths. Joanna's passion is further exemplified by her completion of the Foundation Course for Teaching Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) certified by the Oxford Mindfulness Centre. She believes that incorporating mindfulness practice into her work promotes a deeper understanding of oneself and one’s experience.
Joanna is fluent in Cantonese, English and Mandarin. Her exposure to students from diverse backgrounds also enables her to appreciate and respect different perspectives in her practice.
