Research Interest
In view of the high demand yet simultaneously limited resources for mental health services, my team has been actively investigating the integration of low-intensity psychological interventions into service provision as a way of increasing access to evidence-based psychological treatments for common mental illnesses in primary health settings. In addition, my research focuses on sleep disturbance as a transdiagnostic process in psychological disorders, sleep-wake patterns and variability in individuals with psychological disorders, lifestyle medicine and mental health (e.g., diet, exercise, and sleep), and integrative medicine (e.g., psychotherapy and traditional Chinese medicine).
Wellness Travellers Psychological Services Co Limited
Mental health is for everyone. Wellness Travellers provide evidence-based and cost-effective psychological interventions, for everyone.
Wellness Travellers is the first social enterprise that promotes low-intensity psychological interventions and lifestyle-oriented services. It strives to provoke a paradigm shift via a stepped-care model, which significantly improves capacity and relieve burdens on public psychological services. This enables timelier consultations and improved treatment quality. In the long run, Wellness Travellers not only enhances people’s resilience to mental disorders but mental health literacy in the community.
