Participants of the study consist of 521 counselors. “Multicultural Counseling Competencies Scale” and “Personal Information Form” were employed to collect the study data. Counselors who had practiced 21 or more individual counseling sessions were found to have a significantly higher mean score than those counselors who had practiced one to five sessions. Counselors who had been supervised in individual counseling sessions in the course of their university education were found to have a significantly higher mean score when compared to the counselors who had not received any supervision. Counselors who had received supervision for group counseling sessions in the course of their university education were found to have a significantly higher mean score than the counselors who lacked any supervision. On the other hand, the study found no significant differences in the mean scores according to gender, the year of seniority, educational grade levels they are working at and no significant differences in the mean rank scores according to number of group counseling sessions and education level.},author={Arzu Buyruk Genç-- Fulya YÜKSEL ŞAHİN},year={2018},journal={The Journal of Academic Social Science}}
