Hi everyone! My name is Shoko, and I am a licensed practitioner in Australia. I am passionate using my personal experiences to support others facing challenges like depression, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem, and other mental health concerns. Having overcome my own life challenges and moving from Canada, I earned my Master of Social Work degree and now have over four years of experience working with people dealing with mental health concerns and complex backgrounds.
My previous roll with the government department of child protection provided me with invaluable insights, and I am currently dedicated to working with an organisation that focuses on rehabilitating offenders.
I am dedicated to creating a safe, non-judgmental space for you to talk about your feelings and experiences.
I know what is like to reach out for help, and I know how tough that can be. I am here to listen and walk alongside you, offering support as you navigate your personal challenges and work towards your goals. You can openly talk about your feelings and experiences in a safe, non-judgemental space.
A bit about me: I love motorcycles, skateboarding, and music! I'm fluent in both English and Japanese.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
