“…Mason Durie, an eminent Maori person with a background in counselling and therapy has specified (Durie and Hermansson, 1990) some of the adjustments needing to be made to counselling traditions to begin to meet responsibly the needs of Maori people, and Folia_ki (1981) has written similarly about counselling Pacific Islanders. Also, an innovative response that addresses both cultural and economic conditions has been developed by a dynamic local Family Centre (Waldegrave, 1990).…”

Abstract. This paper considers guidance and counselling needs and services in a country where dramatic changes in economic and social conditions have occurred over the past decade. The welfare state foundations of the nation are described followed by an outline of a move to a free market economy. Increased needs for guidance and counselling services and modified responses are outlined with the main features being a distinct shift from public to private sector provisions. Related domains of training and professional associations are addressed along with current issues facing the profession. The overall picture is of a more diversified climate of needs with a reduced but intensified coverage of services. The immediate future for the guidance and counselling field in New Zealand seems unpredictable. There is certainly a healthy and maturing level of professionalism evident, but also a need for greater sophistication in influencing social policy towards restoring greater social equity.

“…Whilst relationships between the indigenous population (Māori) and colonizing peoples (Pākehā) are, arguably, "relatively amicable" (Durie & Hermansson, 1990) the historical process of colonization also brought war and disease, which combined to significantly reduce the Māori population, whilst also significantly reducing Māori control of their own destiny. Many of their cultural practices were outlawed, and Māori found themselves continually marginalized.…”

This paper makes a case for the coining and exploration of a term 'decolonialism'. Although there is likely to be greater familiarity with the use of the term 'decolonization' for the work indigenous people might undertake on themselves to transcend the shackles of colonization, this paper suggests that colonizers also need to work at ridding themselves of vestigial mechanisms of control. The paper suggests the term 'decolonialism' to represent this challenge. However, the issues go deeper than the examination of a counsellor's personal beliefs, awareness and worldview, but also extend to the systems that underscore and guide the counselling profession. Whilst such issues are of relevance to various contexts around the world, this paper focuses on a case study of the reformation of the New Zealand Association of Counsellors-Te Roopu Kaiwhiriwhiri O Aotearoa as an example of the counselling profession striving to decolonialize its structure and its practices.

“…Counselling has often been perceived as a Western construct, and in some areas may not appear consistent with Máori values, for example, a focus on the individual (as is often seen in counselling), may be opposed to Máori collective values (Durie, 1985;Durie & Hermansson, 1990). Western counselling frameworks have often not been seen by Máori as beneficial to their communities (Walsh-Tapiata, 2004).…”

INTRODUCTION: Social work roles can sometimes be considered to sit on a continuum between a community work/social change perspective and a therapeutic work perspective. One perspective could be preferred above the other, at a particular time and in a particular context, or both perspectives could be supported. This article explores the legitimate function of counselling in social work in Aotearoa New Zealand.METHODS: Data were obtained sequentially through 16 in-depth interviews and four focus groups in a qualitative PhD study. The respondents were practising social workers from various ethnicities and fields of practice represented in Aotearoa New Zealand. Both the interview and focus group data were analysed using a general inductive and thematic data analysis method.FINDINGS: The data demonstrate a relationship between counselling and social work, that social workers regularly use counselling skills and that social workers have a need to develop their clinical skills. Rigid boundaries between the two professions can have adverse effects for clients at times when multi-skilled professionals are needed; participants in this study are calling for ethicality and accountability in this regard.CONCLUSION: The findings from the data confirm the legitimacy of counselling in social work and have implications for social work practice, education, and continued professional development.
