It\u2019s a sense of belonging which is creating therapeutic space, a therapeutic relationship and ultimately helping the clients to deal with their concerns. So many times I am hearing in a diverse work culture, that what matters is your competency but that\u2019s not the case, it&#8217;s about the cultural competence, it\u2019s the connection. Even I see when I burst into the common mother tongue and explain the confidentiality or complex process. It s such an interesting time in my head, when I have to think in English and translate the essence in another language. For me being culturally diverse in my practice is more than just understanding the commonality, it\u2019s about conveying the appropriate message within the context &#8211; sometimes translating emotional languages and words which do not exist in my clients. It\u2019s also about recognizing and embracing my own (and sometimes inviting clients) into my cultural diaspora to make that connection.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I consider myself to be a global citizen\u2026meaning plant me anywhere, I will assimilate and survive, I will grow my own roots, embrace the culture and thrive as a counsellor\u2026.I thought that all clients will seek my professional services and no one will discriminate me because of my accent, my skin color, my ethnicity , [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1001009,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[507,25,232,1322,1065,87],"class_list":["post-4384","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-culturaldiversity","tag-connection","tag-counselling","tag-cultural-diversity","tag-global","tag-priya-senroy","tag-psychotherapy"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 -
