Multicultural Counselling

Most career counselling and guidance practitioners would readily acknowledge that each client is unique, and that individual differences must be accepted and respected.  However, practice often reflects the assumption that a particular interviewing approach is transferable across a wide range of clients.  Multicultural counselling challenges this view.

Multicultural counselling defines 'culture' as being multidimensional.  That is, 'culture' should not only denote race and ethnic origin, but take into account other variables including age.
