Opening
Hours:
Currently
appointments are offered on weekdays between 5pm to 11:30pm JST
Prices:
Individual
adults, standard income - 10 000 yen* (50min)
Couples/relationship counselling - 12 000 yen* (50min), 14 000* (80min)
Children, adolescents or families - 12 000 yen* (50min)
Low income clients - sliding scale 1000~10000yen. Please enquire for
assessment. Income is assessed by household and dependents and other
factors are taken into account.
*High income (over 7 000 000 yen) surcharge of 2000~4000 yen applies
to all prices shown. This is still comparable to market rates for
therapy and helps fund reductions for those in need.
Family
session discounts: currently
some special discounts are available for family sessions, please enquire
You
are welcome to consult by email or ask for a brief online consultation
to discuss whether this is the right counselling for you
Please ask for a receipt for private health insurance if needed.
Timing
Appointments
are usually weekly or every two weeks. However in some circumstances
one-off, intermittent or less freqent appointments may be offered
according to the issue and circumstances. For ongoing therapy I usually
recommend no less frequent than every two weeks and if cost is a concern
may suggest higher frequency over a fixed short term rather than low
frequency over a long term. One-off consultation is also available
to assess your needs.
Longer
appointments than 50 mins are possible depending on availability and
often helpful for couples and families, prices are usually pro rata
Please
feel free to email or call to find out about your options, or to make
enquiries for a friend. There is no pressure to make an appointment,
and it is advisable to check more than one therapist if possible to
find the best possible fit.
