Online therapy in Tokyo

Online therapy is offered in Osaka, Kobe and Tokyo. Online therapy means you see your therapist over the internet using a webcam. You can receive online therapy from wherever you are as long as you have access to a computer with a webcam and high-speed internet access. Online therapy takes advantage of new technologies to offer a safe place for individuals to speak about their problems.

Online therapy is an alternative to traditional face-to-face therapy sessions. Online therapy lets people see their therapists at times and places where they otherwise could not due to logistical reasons (e.g., geography, schedule). With online therapy you can receive the help you need without placing additional burdens on your busy life.

One of the reasons why online therapy is not offered in many places is because of licensing issues in Japan (you can read more about legal issues in Japan here). However, if you are concerned that you might be committing a violation of law by receiving online therapy with your therapist outside of Japan, please contact your therapist for advice.

There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.

Mental Health in Tokyo

Tokyo is the capital of Japan with a population of 13,388,000 inhabitants. According to recent statistics, about 6.2% of the population has mental health conditions. One in five people is estimated to be living with a mental health condition in Japan. These disturbing numbers show that there is still an immense stigma attached to mental illness in the country, with many people choosing not to disclose their diagnosis for fear of discrimination among other things.

One particular mental health condition which is still almost invisible in Japan is Schizophrenia. It’s estimated that 20 million people worldwide suffer from the illness yet it is still not well-known, even among medical professionals. But many people have decided to break this stigma by sharing their stories on Twitter.

Their people have been using the hashtag #統合失調症 to share their personal experiences with Schizophrenia and hopefully, inspire others.
