Abstract

Ethnography is used to explore the experiences and practices of teacher-counsellors (TCs; equivalent to professional school counselors) in Kenya. Thirteen participants were interviewed, each describing their experiences and perspectives as stakeholders working with TCs. Participants noted the strengths and challenges of TCs in Kenya and how counseling practices can be translated in an international context. The advocacy, mentorship, and leadership potential in international counseling work are discussed, and future research opportunities are explored.
