I am a Master-accredited counsellor, fluent in both English and Japanese, and founder of Kisetsu Counselling. Kisetsu means “season” in Japanese – a reminder that our lives, like nature, move through constant transitions. Many of them go unrecognised. I lived, studied and worked in Japan for more than 15 years and particularly loved experiencing four distinct seasons. Each season offered unique opportunities, but also distinct challenges. My role is to walk alongside you through these changes, helping you make sense of your experiences and co-create new stories that may fit better in this season of life.

I am passionate about narrative therapy, an approach that helps me notice your neglected stories, knowledge or skills, so that you can gain new perspectives and regain your agency to make choices that best align with your values. I am also interested in our context and the social and cultural ideas that shape our values and stories. Sometimes these stories limit us; other times, they hold strength, hope and possibility. Together, we will nurture the stories that ignite your passion, guide your choices and help you be present in all parts of your life.

I’d love to chat if you are ready to explore and share your stories. To schedule an appointment please email or call me.
