We attempt to provide some counsellors from different cultures and currently have on staff an Indian and a Chinese counsellor. We also have a pool of cultural consultants for counsellors to consult when needed. Counsellors here have all attended various courses on working cross-culturally. A respectful and sensitive stance towards all clients is the cornerstone of our practice. We consult with clients directly about their experience of us, and what they might need, where cultural differences may throw up issues of understanding or mis-communication.
