Meet Sae
I am a qualified counsellor with the Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling (CPCAB). I have been actively practicing in the UK since 2015.
I am also a qualified teacher. I was first qualified in Japan in 1995 then have taught over 20 years in Thailand, USA, Peru and the UK. My experience of working closely with people of various age groups (children from age 5 to 18, university students and adults) and with different cultural background has helped me to become a good listener.
I recently completed a postgraduate level course to learn counselling for children and young people. This enables me to provide counselling to both adults and children over 11 to help with whatever is troubling you.
I can communicate in Japanese, English and Spanish. If you don't speak these languages, that's fine. I will be able to communicate with you somehow!
During my time overseas I have encountered and overcome a range of difficulties myself. If you are homesick, having difficulties fitting in to a new environment, experiencing burnout or feeling 'lost' away from home, then I am here to help you.
My counselling therapy mainly applies the two approaches called 'Person-centred' and 'Psychodynamic'. I will work at a pace that is suitable for you. However, if we decide it is necessary, I will gently challenge you to help your reflection. We regularly check and review our progress during the course of our sessions.
I am a registered member of British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and I work following its Ethical Framework
to provide the greatest benefit to my clients.
