Denise Kenny's experiences as an expat school counselor in Dubai as diversity and counselling have become the new normal.
049 Cultural Paradigms of Counselling from Dubai
Join me in Dubai. For a child in a new culture, counselling can make the difference between adapting and embracing the new school and national culture or the whole family being miserable and coming home early - a costly mistake for employers sending their best talent overseas. Coaching and counseling are both conversation-based but different.
Denise explains more about the role of counselling the students and also coaching the parents and teachers at an international school. Denise has experienced first hand how this dynamic city is embracing diversity in education at a rate that most European countries can only dream of.
We touch on shisha, shawarma, manakish, henna, 49th UAE National Day (2nd December 2020), outdated stereotypes about all women having to wear an abaya in Dubai and we even talk about camels. It's an intercultural audio adventure.
