《Self Introduction》
Hello, everyone. I’m NATSU, a counselor. I’m currently living in Costa Rica, so I can take advantage of the time difference to be available early in the morning or late at night in Japan. Please feel free to contact me.
When I was in my mid-twenties, I lost confidence in myself to a surprising degree, and counseling saved my life. I started out on the receiving end of counseling, and now I’m here as a counselor, so if you’re wondering if it’s alright to ask for help, you don’t have to worry.
《Experience》
For three years, I have been involved in an overseas organization that provides a safe environment for people who have suffered trauma, to focus on meditation and counseling. I was impressed by the fact that even those who had suffered severe trauma were able to receive counseling at a pace that suited them, and in the end they left with smiles on their faces. Recently, in order to expand my knowledge, I have been actively participating in courses on cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness, as well as exchanging opinions with other counselors.
《About counseling》
During our counseling sessions, I will listen carefully to your problems and try to find simple solutions that are easy to implement, taking into account your current circumstances. Every problem has a root issue, so I will ask questions to get to the root of the problem. For more information, please click the “Details” tab on each lesson.
Examples of problems: Lack of self-confidence, conflict with your parents, losing track of your goals, jealousy, lack of energy, lack of confidence in your appearance, irritability, people who feel they can’t communicate well, past memories you can’t forget, etc.
《Hobbies》
I love to cook, so on Fridays I often head to the local morning market to buy fresh fruits and vegetables. I love nature, so on my day offs I often take my three dogs to the beach or river. I am currently working on my Spanish skills in preparation for a trip to Cuba. I like to live a simple life, so I spend my days feeling joy about small things, such as drinking coffee with friends, walking my dog, eating delicious food, and being impressed by plants and animals I see for the first time.
