Topic:How UK Trainee counsellors prepare themselves in their response when exposed to culture shock, empathy, and attitudes towards non western clients.
Some ideas for the research proposal is to look into ways UK trainee counsellors (adhering to the BACP framework):
-become comfortable with discomfort: how trainee counsellors are prepared when broached with racial, ethnic, cultural factors w/ non-western clients during counselling
– trainee counsellors deal with cultural differences/ non-western clients, within a westernised psychological models.
– how trainee counsellors incorporate their appreciation of racial and ethnic diversity in therapy in a intangible way.
– multicultural personality and multicultural counselling competency in counsellor trainees
