“Online counselling where Japanese people abroad can speak with ease in Japanese”
About Yuko
I am a counsellor offering online counselling for Japanese people living abroad, a place where you can speak from the heart in Japanese and feel at ease. I work with the loneliness and anxiety of living abroad, cross-cultural adjustment and identity, relationships and partnerships, international marriage and divorce, attachment styles and repeating relationship patterns, low self-esteem and loss of confidence, stress, and life transitions.
In Japan I worked for many years as airline cabin crew, a job that brought me into contact with many people. Today I work as a qualified counsellor trained in the UK. I hold a CPCAB Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, along with diplomas in attachment theory and inner child healing.
Counselling is not a place where you are told the answers. Rather than hurrying to find one, I value time spent listening slowly to your own heart and asking what you are feeling right now. I stay close to your pace and support you with care.
How Yuko works
My work is grounded in person-centred therapy, and I bring in cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and attachment theory when they are needed. I also use inner child work. Rather than applying a fixed method, I think with you about the support you need now and we go forward from there. I value time in which you can face your own feelings and thoughts in peace. Sessions take place online.
Approaches
General information from Kyan about each method, not a description of how Yuko works.
Person-centred therapy
Person-centred therapy, developed by Carl Rogers, starts from the idea that you are the expert on your own life. The therapist offers warmth, empathy and genuine attention without steering the conversation, so you can explore what matters to you at your own pace. Many people find it helps them feel heard and grow in confidence and self-understanding.
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT)
Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions keep each other going. Together you notice the patterns that hold a problem in place and try out new ways of thinking and acting, often with small practical tasks between sessions. It is widely used for anxiety, low mood, stress and sleep problems.
Attachment-based therapy
Attachment-based therapy looks at how early bonds with caregivers shape the way we connect with others today. Understanding these patterns can make sense of a fear of closeness or of being left, and of difficulties that keep coming back in relationships. The work aims at feeling more secure with yourself and with the people who matter to you.

Questions and answers
Can I have counselling in Japanese if I live abroad?
Yes. If you live abroad, you can have online counselling in Japanese. In some countries or regions, however, I may not be able to offer the service from the UK. Please ask me for details.
Do you offer online counselling?
Yes, my sessions take place online.
Which languages can I use?
I work in Japanese and in English.
What happens in the first consultation?
The first consultation lasts 30 minutes. We talk about the problems you are facing and consider how I can support you. We also think together about your needs and goals for counselling.
Is it all right to come just once?
Yes, a single session is perfectly fine. For more serious problems, I usually recommend several sessions. We can go at a pace that suits you.
