Can't see the wood
for the trees?

Welcome

Hello, my name is Miyuki. I am a Person-Centred Counsellor and a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

My approach is warm, empathic, and collaborative. I see counselling as a journey we take together — I am like a co-pilot sitting beside you, helping you find your own direction and solutions.

Counselling with Me

I work with clients from diverse cultural and personal backgrounds. Being Japanese and living in the UK, I understand how challenging it can be to adjust to a new culture or language.

I am particularly interested in cross-cultural issues, identity, and life transitions.

Clients come to me for support with:

• Cultural adjustment and feeling “in between” two worlds

• Relationship and family difficulties

• Work stress and academic pressure

• Anxiety, self-esteem, or loneliness

• Grief and loss

Although I do not offer couple counselling, I can support individuals who are in intercultural or international relationships and wish to explore communication, expectations, or emotional challenges.

In addition, I have experience delivering structured, short-term counselling within the Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) model and am comfortable working in a focused, time-limited way where appropriate.
