Dr Sze Ching Cici Lam

About

I am an HCPC-registered educational psychologist, and my research focuses on exploring the relationship between social support, positive psychology constructs, and school satisfaction across the lifespan, particularly focusing on the socio-cultural context in understanding mental health in the school settings. In addition, my research area also covers collaborative learning in teacher education for special/inclusive education, centred on inclusive evidence-based research and practices. I earned my Doctorate in Education from the University of Hong Kong in 2017. Before coming to U.K. I have worked as a school-based educational psychologist for NGOs, and Senior Lecturer at a teacher training university, delivering lectures and seminars to in-serve teachers and SENCos. I then joined Kingston University London as a Lecturer in February 2024.
