What I'm looking for

I'm looking to continue supporting people through holistic counselling or contribute to inclusive, cross-cultural education where I can build confidence, communication, and wellbeing.

I'm a registered counsellor accredited by the ASCHP board, using a holistic approach that focuses on clients' inner worlds. I bring empathy, self-awareness, and a commitment to making a positive difference.

At Plumm and Plumm Mental Health, I provided online therapy to people from different parts of the world, engaging clients and offering helpful tools through specific therapeutic approaches. My practical counselling training at Helios included the STREPCO approach and work with both adults and children.

In Hokkaido, I teach English in Japanese public schools through Interac, delivering engaging student-centered lessons alongside Japanese instructors. I support language development and communication confidence while creating positive, inclusive, interactive cross-cultural classrooms.
