International Journal for the Advancement of Counselling (IJAC)

The International Journal for the Advancement of Counselling is a peer‑reviewed academic journal published by Springer Nature that focuses on advancing theory, research, and practice in counselling and guidance from a global and multicultural perspective. The journal promotes the exchange of information about counselling activities throughout the world, publishing conceptual, practical, and empirical research contributions that offer an international outlook on the profession. Its content spans foundational and emerging issues in counselling such as theories and models of guidance, counselor education and supervision, psychosocial approaches to client care, multicultural and cross‑cultural counselling practices, and social justice in counselling services. The journal also highlights state‑of‑the‑art reports on counselling in specific social contexts and special populations, as well as reflections on counselling services in regions facing economic or social challenges. As a scholarly forum, the journal is committed to diverse methodological approaches and integrates insights from applied psychology, education, and behavioural sciences, fostering academic dialogue that informs both research and professional practice. Its longstanding history and quarterly publication underscore its established role in shaping international counselling scholarship and practice.
