Welcome to Brief Therapy
Specializing in Brief Therapy and Family therapy.
Are you seeking effective and efficient solutions to life's challenges?
As a licensed psychotherapist with a background in clinical psychology and a specialty in brief therapy, we can help you through difficult times and help you achieve positive direction.
We also believe in preventative therapy by intervening before the difficult issues swell and continue.
Releasing the problems and the crises you face within yourself and you to your environment without feeling alone. Fresh thoughts, feelings and your life...
Mainly passionate about supporting international families and teenagers.
International families have...
Different cultural backgrounds, values and languages which can cause a variety of problems. Difficulties in communication due to differences in values and customs of different cultures and languages between family members, discord in parent-child and marital relationships, and many others.
The technique of 'family therapy' is used to solve these problems.
The aim is to improve communication and strengthen relationships, so that the whole family can work together to solve problems.
Teenagers are... undergoing a period of significant change, both physically and mentally. If they receive the right support during this period, it can lead to healthy growth and draw strength from them.
The cooperation and understanding of the family is the key to success in these matters.
Depending on the case, brief therapy has the advantage of being effective in a short period of time.
My specialty is brief therapy and this psychotherapy is a "pathway to change", it would be no exaggeration to say that.
The brief therapy /Family therapy approach focus on the relationships and social systems that have allowed the problem to continue.
This approach focuses on creating meaningful change within a short timeframe.
We believe that understanding your individual strengths and developing practical strategies will lead to significant improvements in your wellbeing.
The emphasis is on identifying goals and jointly implementing the right interventions to achieve them.
We are the support that brings you closer to your ideal you. We will be there for those who are doing their best in a foreign country or in Japan.
Whether you are an adult seeking self-growth solutions or a parent who is heartbroken about your child's wellbeing
I can help guide you on a transformational journey into life to increase your happiness by one more thing.
Take the first step towards positive change.

♢Profile
Japanese, born in Tokyo. Currently lives in France. International marriage and three children. Moved from Japan to France and from France to Japan (expatriate in Tokyo).
Since I started working, I have lived in an other country and worked in the service sector. I have had the opportunity to experience a wide variety of occupations and have demonstrated my ability each time.
I have also gone through several crisis in my life where many people have supported me, and here I am today. When I got married, I gradually became more and more focused on these relationships with people and decided to change careers, with the idea that my future second stage would focus on supporting these relationships. I became a psychotherapist / brief therapist.
