Particular interests and hopes for connection: I work as a narrative therapist, lecturer, supervisor, and writer/editor/translator for narrative therapy-related publications. I host a Facebook group for Japanese people interested in narrative therapy. It has reached 2600 people now (2022).

I am particularly interested in narrative work which may change dominating discourses in our communities and societies.

I hope to network & exchange ideas with other narrative practitioners.
