Choose what feels like the right first step. We can always adjust.
Best if you’re unsure or would like to see if we’re a good fit.
Most common starting point.
Best for focused deep work or trauma processing.
Sessions are confidential and paced to your comfort.
There’s no obligation after the introduction consultation.
Time zone: All times are Japan Standard Time (JST).
Location / format: Online counseling via Google Meet or In-person sessions in Kamakura (Kanagawa), Japan.

The first session is about understanding where you are and what feels stuck.
You don’t need to prepare anything.
You don’t need to explain your entire life story.
You don’t need to “have it figured out.”
We slow things down and begin from where you are. At your pace.
I offer person-centered counseling and hypnotherapy support.
I do not provide medical or psychiatric treatment or diagnoses.
If at any point you would benefit from clinical support, I’ll say so openly and help you think through next steps.
The focus here is clarity and forward movement. Not labeling or pathologizing you.
Yes.
What we discuss stays in session, with standard ethical exceptions related to immediate risk of serious harm.
For many people living abroad, privacy is especially important — and I take that seriously.
It depends — and we decide together.
Some people come for a short series focused on one issue.
Others prefer ongoing work as life evolves.
There are no long-term contracts and no pressure to continue.
We reassess as we go.
The goal is meaningful change — not dependency.
That’s completely okay.
Many people begin with a sense that “something feels off,” or that they are tired in a way that doesn't go away.
That’s enough to start.
Yes. I provide online counseling for expats in Tokyo, Yokohama, Osaka, and across Japan via Google Meet.
60 minutes — ¥10,000
90 minutes — ¥15,000
