What kind of coaching sessions are they?
This may be sudden, but do you ever have thoughts like these?
・I want to change myself, but I find it hard to take the challenge
・I don't know my own strengths or charms, and I lack confidence
・I suddenly feel anxious, wondering, "Is this the right life for me?"
・I don't know what I truly want to do from the heart or what my real feelings are
・I find myself thinking, "Am I a good parent? A good partner?"
・I have worries, anxieties, or feelings of unease in my daily life
・I always prioritize others over myself
If you thought "That's me!" even once,
why not take some time to talk about it in a session?
In my coaching sessions,
while we talk at length about the anxieties, unease, things you want to do, and things you want to achieve that you are currently holding,
"your true feelings from the heart""the core values you truly want to cherish"
we will discover these.
Furthermore, I will support you so that you can take a step forward with that important personal core you have discovered.
"Is it okay to talk about this?"
"Is it okay even if I don't have a big goal?"
"I might not be able to put it into words well..."
There is absolutely no need to worry about that!
Please let me hear the honest emotions and thoughts that come to your mind.
You area precious person who is the only one in the world.
Why not facethat precious selftogether with me?

Recommended for people like this!
To begin with, the principle of coaching is,
"The answer lies within the client."
Therefore, in a coaching session,
the coach draws out the answers within the client and walks alongside and supports them
toward what they want to achieve or self-actualization.
The coach does not actively provide guidance or advice to the client, nor do they provide psychological treatment.
Based on that,
please see here for "those who are recommended" and, unfortunately, "those for whom it is difficult to be of service."
What led you to start coaching?
First, let me briefly introduce my background.
[Brief History and Episodes]
○ After graduating from university, preschool teacher
Very rewarding, but continued working while becoming depressed due to being busy and self-sacrificing
⇓
○ Customer service and reception work
Changed jobs seeking a balance between life and work
⇓
○ Childcare worker (also had periods of resignation due to pregnancy and childbirth)
Changed jobs wanting to be involved in childcare again, but ruined my physical and mental health due to being busy and self-sacrificing
⇓
○ Web writer, work from home
Exploring a new path while thinking about the future for myself and my family ⇓○ Encountered coaching
I have walked a life like this.
Before I encountered coaching, I prioritized other people's standards (values imposed by others) such as
'I should do this,' 'I must do that,' or 'It's better to do this'
rather than focusing on what I wanted to do or what I valued.
I was prone to self-denial and self-sacrifice, and I had very little self-acceptance—the ability to feel okay with who I am.
I was physically and mentally exhausted every day, constantly pushing myself, and I even felt that living was painful.
After repeatedly suppressing my feelings and breaking down both physically and mentally until I hit rock bottom, I decided to turn things around!
Thinking, 'I want to change myself! I want to change how I interact with my children and husband! I want to feel the joy of living!'
I took my first step into coaching.
Encountering coaching brought many wonderful changes for me!
○ I was able to discover my own merits, strengths, and efforts.
○ I became able to face my true self with patience.
○ By understanding my habitual ways of thinking and reframing them, I became able to communicate more comfortably.
○ I have come to feel more and more that it is okay to be myself, even with my tendencies toward self-denial, self-sacrifice, and low self-esteem! Any version of me is okay!
○ I have developed a feeling of respecting and accepting those close to me, such as my children and husband.
○ The painful feelings caused by living according to others' standards have decreased, and by valuing what I want to do, my excitement has increased.
The biggest change is
◎ Knowing what I want to do and what is important, and feeling that life is fun
◎ Being able to sincerely respect the individuality and core values of both myself and others
I hope to be of help to each person I meet in my sessions,
so that they can live their lives comfortably and with excitement.
