About me

In-person counselling is offered in a private and comfortable room near Preston Park and Fiveways in Brighton, both in English and Japanese. I also offer online via MS Teams and by telephone. In addition to my private practice, I support clients through NHS Talking Therapies (IAPT Services) and Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) services. I have also provided bereavement support and LGBTQ+ affirmative therapy in London and Brighton.

I take pride in supporting clients regardless of their culture, race, gender, identity, age, sexuality or views, in a trusting therapeutic relationship. I am especially passionate about supporting clients who feel like they do not fit in and who have experienced discrimination, abuse, trauma, or shame.

How I work is "integrative", which means I respect each client as a unique individual who can benefit from various counselling theories and approaches appropriate to their situation and concern.

I am an accredited member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and adhere to their Ethical Framework for the Counselling Profession. I take the confidentiality of my client's data very seriously and comply with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and am registered with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).

I grew up in Japan and settled in the UK over 20 years ago.
