Intercultural Therapy
A space where all parts of you are welcome.
Intercultural Therapy is a relational and culturally aware approach to counselling that recognises the importance of our different life experiences, identities, and relationships. It understands that culture can shape how we see ourselves, relate to others, and experience the world. This may include race, ethnicity, language, gender identity, sexuality, disability, religion, family background, and socio-economic experiences.
Intercultural Therapy is for everyone and not only for people with an intercultural background.
We all experience both connection and difference in our relationships, communities, workplaces, and daily lives. Therapy offers a supportive space where these experiences can be explored openly, thoughtfully, and without judgement.
Relationship is key
At the centre of Intercultural Therapy is the relationship between therapist and client. Building trust, safety, and genuine understanding is essential.
The aim is to create a space where you feel heard, valued, welcomed, and understood.
The therapist works with openness, curiosity, and cultural awareness, recognising that there is no single “normal” or universal way of living, communicating, or understanding the world.
Together, conversations may explore identity, belonging, difference, connection, relationships, and experiences of inclusion or exclusion and while always seeing the person as a whole, not defined by one aspect of their identity or experience. The therapist is more culturally aware, emphasis on individualism and has an awareness of dominate cultural values at the same time facilitate an understanding that white cultural values are not normative or universal
Intercultural Therapy draws from relational, person-centred, psychodynamic, and integrative approaches, creating a warm and collaborative space where both similarities and differences can be explored with care and respect and doesn’t avoid to discuss directly inequality, race and institutional discrimination.
Who can benefit from Intercultural Therapy?
Intercultural Therapy can support anyone wanting a safe, respectful, and understanding space to explore their experiences and relationships. It can be especially supportive for people who may feel marginalised, overlooked, or misunderstood within society, communities, workplaces, or institutions.
This may include people who experience oppression or discrimination connected to race, ethnicity, culture, gender, sexuality, disability, caring responsibilities, religion, social class, immigration experiences, or refugee status.
A space where different experiences, identities, and realities are welcomed with care and respect.
Intercultural Therapy can support children, teenagers, adults, families, and groups, as long as the therapist has an understanding of the emotional, social, and cultural experiences that can affect people’s lives and wellbeing.
The aim is to create a space where people feel heard, accepted, and able to explore both challenges and strengths and while recognising that our differences can also deepen understanding and connection
