Cultural competency is fundamental to all clinical practice. The model of cultural awareness, knowledge, and skills ground this presentation. For counselors to engage in ethical practice when addressing issues of sexuality with clients, relevant cultural perspectives must be applied. Insomuch as there are always cultural differences between clients and counselors, it is the responsibility of counselors to recognize their own biases about sexuality and how these biases may interfere in the counseling process.

Sexuality is viewed differently for different reasons—cultural, religious, ethnic, and gender beliefs. The counselor’s knowledge of a client’s worldview about sexuality, if there are conflicts for the client, and how they want to resolve these is necessary for culturally responsive and ethical practice.
