Hi, I’m Ayumi Inako, a functional linguist and founder of Kotoba no Monosashi (Word Measure), or Koto Mono.
I'm currently not accepting new clients.
Follow me for updates about my availability.
I provide phone consultation in English to support you gain clarity and perspective on the issue or concern you are facing. My approach draws on functional linguistics, exploring how language shapes and reflects our thoughts, relationships, and social interactions. The goal is to make the process comfortable, reflective, and supportive.
I can help if you’re dealing with:
Confusing or tense relationships
Challenges with family or friends
Parenting, healthcare, or caregiving struggles
Sorting out your feelings or thoughts
It’s okay if your thoughts aren’t fully organized yet. Just speak, and I’ll listen.
Regular rates apply from April.
My consultation service is grounded in functional linguistics and intended for educational, reflective, and meaning-making purposes related to language and communication. It is not psychotherapy, coaching, legal, or medical/mental health treatment, and I am not a licensed therapist, counselor, lawyer, or medical professional. Sessions are unsuitable for crises or psychological emergencies. If in distress, please seek licensed professionals locally.
