Counsellor Duties & Salary in Japan
In Japan, counselors, known as "カウンセラー" (kaunserā), provide essential support in addressing mental health and personal challenges. An exciting fact about counseling in Japan is its incorporation of Shinrin-Yoku or "forest bathing" therapy, where clients immerse themselves in nature to reduce stress and improve well-being. Counselors find opportunities in cities like Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto, as well as in serene rural areas where the demand for mental health services is growing.
The main duties of a counselor in Japan include conducting therapy sessions, addressing issues like stress and depression, and sometimes incorporating Shinrin-Yoku techniques for relaxation and healing. Key skills for Japanese counselors include an understanding of Shinrin-Yoku and the ability to provide counseling in both Japanese and English. To practice as a counselor in Japan, one typically needs a Master's degree in counseling psychology or a related field.
The expected salary range for counselors in Japan varies based on experience and location. Entry-level counselors can earn approximately JPY 3,000,000 to JPY 4,000,000 per year, while experienced professionals in Tokyo may earn between JPY 4,500,000 to JPY 6,000,000 annually. Hourly rates typically range from JPY 3,000 to JPY 5,000, depending on specialization and setting.
