Abstract
There are trends in multicultural counseling. People of different
cultures are not likely to seek counseling services. The
distinctions and differentiations in cultures and values make
other people shy away from counseling s they always think that
they may not be understood. In a number of occasions, there is
always lack of access to the services. There is also the aspect of
lack of trust in the counselor as a result of the views of white
males by those of the other cultures. These issues surrounding
multicultural counseling are viewed in the ethical perspective.
Shame is also a factor and it is accompanied by the stigma of
seeking counseling since many feel that their cultures may not
feel that they are going to the extreme. Therefore, as per the

8. research, these are just some of the reasons why difficulty is
experienced in serving multicultural populations. Counselors
have the challenge of adapting a variety of different counseling
styles and interviewing in order to serve clients from different
cultural backgrounds. They should hence be cautious not to
focus on the client values as well as maintain cultural
sensitivity.
