English Counseling in Osaka | Kuretake Mental Health Office Sumiyoshi
English counseling in Osaka (Sumiyoshi area). I offer in-person and online counseling in English for individuals and couples living in Osaka or abroad. I work with expats, international residents, and cross-cultural couples, supporting communication, emotional balance, and relationship challenges in daily life.
As an English-speaking therapist based in Osaka, I provide a safe and calm space where you can express yourself freely.
Overview of Available Session Styles
Kuretake Mental Health Office Osaka-Sumiyoshi counseling room is located near the famous Sumiyoshi Taisha shrine in Osaka. In the Japanese-style counseling room, you can find a peaceful and calming atmosphere. Osaka metro area rental room sessions and worldwide online sessions are available upon request.
Whether you prefer meeting in person, online, or need a flexible setting, I offer several session formats to suit your needs and lifestyle. Sessions are available in English and Japanese.
In-Person Counseling
Private sessions in a quiet Japanese-style room in Osaka.
Relax in a peaceful space with tatami mats, a view of the garden, and a completely private setting in Sumiyoshi.
Online Counseling
Talk from the comfort of your own space
If you live far away, prefer to stay at home, or want to try just one session first, online counseling may be right for you.
Sessions are available via Zoom or LINE.
No matter where you are, a calm conversation can begin.
Couples Counseling
For couples of all kinds – international, same-gender, or Japanese-Japanese.
I offer couples counseling in Osaka, supporting open communication and mutual understanding.
Sessions can be together or include individual time depending on your needs.
Home Visits & Rental Rooms
If you’re unable to come to the counseling room in Sumiyoshi, I can arrange sessions in a private rental room within Osaka City.
To protect your privacy, sessions are held in calm, closed spaces rather than public cafes.
Morning Sessions & Time Zone Flexibility
I offer early morning sessions (from 6:00 or 7:00 AM JST), which may suit those living abroad or in different time zones.
If you’re currently living outside Japan or have a unique schedule, feel free to ask — I’ll do my best to find a time that works for both of us.
