Wayfinder Practice provides professional one-to-one counseling for English-speaking adults in Japan.
I specialize in supporting expats navigating cross-cultural pressure, stress, burnout, and the quiet strain of holding it together in a foreign context.
Based in Kamakura. Working with clients in Japan and worldwide.
Once we begin, we focus on what is most immediate and most relevant to you. Some sessions are exploratory, others are skill-focused. Over time, we identify patterns, test new responses, and build steadier ways of thinking and reacting.
Each session is structured but flexible.
We may:
Explore patterns that keep repeating
Work with emotional regulation
When helpful, we may use guided techniques from CBT, NLP, or hypnotherapy
Develop grounded, realistic next steps
Some sessions are conversational.
Others go deeper.
The pace is guided by what you’re ready for.
Identity and purpose
Grief and unresolved experiences
Self-criticism and internal pressure
I provide online counseling for expats across all of Japan (including Tokyo, Osaka, and Nagoya) and in-person counselling sessions at my Hitsuji House in Kamakura and Yokohama.
I draw from evidence-informed approaches including CBT, and NLP. Hypnotherapy may be incorporated when approproate and aligned with your goals. My focus is not on labels, but on helping you understand patterns, regulate emotional responses, and build steadier ways of moving forward.
Sessions are practical, structured, and adapted to your pace.
Sessions are available online and in-person. You can schedule directly, or begin with a short consultation.
