Intercultural Consultancy - Relational - Progressive - Cohesive
Intercultural Consultancy & Training is the corporate arm of Intercultural Counselling & Competence Development Ltd, a Malta-based company founded in 2019 and operating across Europe and beyond. We are built on over 30 years of lived, professional expertise in intercultural work — spanning corporate training, counselling, mediation, and social impact.
We exist to help organisations turn cultural complexity into clarity, inclusion, and long-term success.
Our purpose is to:
- provide you with the opportunity to upskill ideas and strategies fitting to the needs of our time
- help you to understand and manage what’s going on in your life and your workplace
- improve your dealings with people and situations with an unfamiliar socio-cultural context
- help you or your organization navigate through transitional periods that require change
Intercultural competencies go far beyond simply helping individuals or a company avoid stereotyping and exposing an internalized bias. Intercultural competencies far more practical. In the corporate world, they are the basic re-engineering tools for every business, even a local business, because everywhere there are people, there are differences.
The purpose of the services offered at this site is also to raise more awareness of our social embeddedness at work and in our private life but also to provide professional assistance for effective human interactions in today’s highly fluid and economically challenged society.
We stand for quality and aim to enrich our clients’ knowledge base to increase their possibilities and options through:
- strategic engagement
- individual, institutional and corporate inter-cultural counselling services,
- intercultural and inter-functional consultancy services,
- specific skill set development as well as the design and development of CSR based projects.
All services are based on, and carried out with, high ethical professional standards.
Services offered on this website are based on 30 years of experience of working and living in the Middle East, South America, West Africa and European countries. Combined with academic underpinnings addressing topical issues related to different contextual backgrounds.
We work with:
- Businesses & HR Leaders building resilient, diverse teams
- Public sector institutions & educators navigating multicultural realities
- NGOs & EU-funded project partners who need inclusive communication and impact strategies
- Leaders & frontline professionals facing cultural misunderstanding, burnout, or community tension
Our clients come to us when they face:
- Miscommunication or conflict in diverse or hybrid teams
- Leadership blind spots around inclusion or unconscious bias
- Pressure to meet DEI, ESG, or integration goals — but unsure how
- A need to go beyond box-ticking toward real culture change
- Exclusion of neurodiverse or marginalised staff
We operate through a core team of three contract-based collaborators and a fast-growing network of local and international professionals. This agile model allows us to scale flexibly, forming the right expert team for every client — whether local, regional, or international.
Our work is not one-size-fits-all. We listen first, then co-create solutions that fit your context.
- People-first, systems-aware: We work at both the human and structural level — building individual awareness while also guiding change in policy, leadership, and team dynamics.
- Empathetic and non-judgmental: We create psychologically safe spaces for real reflection, learning, and transformation — not blame, shame, or quick fixes.
- Rooted in lived experience and evidence: We bring practical, cross-sector experience combined with cutting-edge intercultural and psychological research.
- Sustainable, not superficial: We support real change — moving you from awareness to action, from checkbox training to lasting cultural evolution.
