Expertise Summary

Teaching Summary

At my previous university, my role was to lead UG/PG taught courses online, therefore I have several publications regarding online pedagogy on top of my mental health research.

Research Summary

Currently, Yasu leads several large-scale international collaborations:

  • RECOLLECT International Research Consortium (40 researchers, 35 countries), advancing the cross-cultural understanding of Recovery Colleges.

  • REACH (Research Ensemble for Advancement in Cross-cultural Healthcare), supporting 51 professionals from 21 countries to build research capacity.

  • Global INSPIRE study, mapping mental health recovery priorities across 60 countries.

  • Social Nature project, exploring cultural and linguistic differences in how "nature" is understood in Japan and the UK.

Past Research

Yasu's earlier work focused on self-compassion, ikigai, and mental health in educational and occupational contexts. He conducted some of the first cross-cultural studies of self-compassion, identifying how Asian and Western populations differ in relating to themselves during difficulties. His research on ikigai (life purpose) highlighted its protective role against burnout and poor wellbeing. He also published highly cited systematic reviews and meta-analyses on nature-based interventions, especially forest bathing, providing robust evidence of their mental health benefits.

Future Research

Yasu's future agenda aims to establish CROWN (Cross-cultural Wellness) as a global framework for inclusive mental health. His priorities include:

  • Developing cross-cultural guidelines for recovery-oriented care, informed by large-scale international evidence.

  • Testing scalable nature-based and compassion-focused interventions that can be culturally adapted.

  • Exploring the cultural psychology of key wellbeing concepts (e.g., "nature," "human rights," "recovery") through surveys, linguistic analysis, and mixed-methods research.

  • Building international partnerships to address global mental health inequities by recognising both universal and culture-specific pathways to wellbeing.
