In this multi-continent, cross-cultural study, we investigated the role of humility in counselling relationships between school counsellors and students across Southeast Asia, South Asia, and Central Europe. A culturally diverse research group interviewed 45 school counsellors and analysed the data thematically. The findings suggest that humility is a relational and context-dependent trait, highlighting how cultural understandings and enactments of humility shape counsellor-student relationships. The study has implications for developing culturally relevant counselling practices in schools, where cultural characteristics, organisational factors, and counsellors’ professional practices interact.
