Experiential, Emotion-Focused
Therapy in Sapporo

You may be living in Japan for work, study, or family.
On the outside, things may appear stable.

Yet inside, you may feel tension, loneliness, or emotional exhaustion that is difficult to put into words.

Therapy offers a space where you do not have to perform, adapt, or translate yourself.
You can simply be.

About Me

Yuka Mukai

I am Yuka Mukai, a licensed psychotherapist based in Sapporo, Japan, with over 20 years of clinical experience.

I am a Certified AEDP Therapist, trained through the AEDP Institute in the United States.

My work is grounded in AEDP — a relational, attachment-based, and emotion-focused approach to healing.

Rather than focusing only on symptoms, our work explores the deeper emotional patterns that shape your experience. Through a safe and attuned therapeutic relationship, emotional pain can transform into clarity, resilience, and self-trust.

Therapy is not about fixing what is broken.
It is about discovering what has always been intact within you.

Common Concerns

I work with individuals and couples who may be experiencing:

Anxiety and persistent stress
Emotional exhaustion or burnout
Trauma and unresolved past experiences
Relationship difficulties
Feelings of isolation or disconnection
Life transitions and questions of identity
A sense of functioning on the outside while struggling internally

You do not need to be in crisis to begin therapy.
Often, it begins with a quiet sense that something inside feels unsettled.

Optional Free Consultation

If you would like, I offer a 15-minute free online consultation (online only) before scheduling your first session.

This brief conversation allows you to:

  • Clarify what brings you to therapy
  • Ask questions about the process
  • See whether my approach feels like a good fit

There is no obligation to continue afterward.
You are also welcome to schedule a full session directly without a consultation.

Fees

Individual Session 60 minutes ¥20,000
Couples Session 60 minutes ¥27,500

Tax included. Sessions are not covered by Japanese National Health Insurance.
