Abstract

The definition of counselling psychology in Canada incorporates cultural diversity as a core value (Bedi et al., 2011). Canadian counselling psychologists are going beyond the challenge to respond to diversity in all its complexity, to lead the field in inclusive professional practices that contribute to the health and well-being of all Canadians. In the past several decades, Canadian researchers and theorists have increasingly recognized the importance of cultural diversity, as well as the broader systemic factors that influence health and well-being. They have begun to look beyond the individual to the contexts and relationships that shape worldview, self-perception, and behaviour, as well as social, economic, and political privilege. Critical analysis of cultural identities provides a lens through which individual and group experiences are positioned and integrated into practice (Collins & Arthur, 2010c).
