There is nothing more challenging in the field of counselling than working crossculturally, in that the practitioner is forced to confront his or her own framework of assumptions, at the personal, professional, social and the cultural levels. For the person who moves between one culture and another, there is nothing more challenging than the act of migration itself, with its attendant losses and adjustments. These two areas of experience come together in attempting to provide a counselling service for refugees which is meaningful for them as well as for the practitioners.
