■ Background of Organizational Restructuring: From Individual Support to Social Infrastructure
Our organization, which has been active as the "Kokoroya Counseling Association" until March 31, 2026, will change its name to the "General Incorporated Association for Psychological Counselor Support" and restart under a new system from April 1, 2026.
Based on the knowledge cultivated through past activities to adjust the "state of mind," we aim to build a "sustainable mental infrastructure" that supports diverse counselors as an organization, rather than relying on a single charismatic individual or specific method, allowing clients to connect with counselors with peace of mind.
■ Launch of New Portal Site "Kokoro no Arikata Counseling - Trouble Counseling Portal Site"
Along with the name change, we have launched a new portal site as a hub for information dissemination.
[Main Features of the Site]
Anonymous "Trouble Consultation Room": Counselors respond to unspoken true feelings about parent-child relationships, work, human relationships, etc. We return the experience of feeling lighter just by reading to society.
Counselor Search that Shows "Personality": Visualizes not only qualifications and experience but also the counselor's own thoughts and areas of expertise. You can find the perfect "mental companion" for you.
Information Dissemination as a Third Place: We daily update columns and news that serve as a "third place" where you can be yourself, neither at home nor at work.
■ Message from the Representative Directors (Joint Statement)
"We want counseling to be more accessible and a daily option. With this in mind, we have united under a new system with four representative directors and carried out the rebranding of this organization.
The portal site 'Kokoro no Arikata Counseling,' launched today, is the first step in that determination. In an increasingly complex modern society, instead of bearing worries alone, we will continue to provide a reliable place where individuals can re-examine their 'state of mind' with counselors."
