Counselling Techniques: Exploring Sociocultural Contexts
Channel: Sandra Collins
Date: 2023-06-06

The challenges that clients bring to counselling are often embedded in, or influenced by, the sociocultural contexts of their lives. It is important for counsellors to take the time to explore these contexts in order to fully appreciate the challenges clients face and to avoid pathologizing clients if their challenges arise from contextual issues like racism or other forms of cultural oppression.
