Counsellor educators face complex challenges in the advancement of the counselling profession internationally. One way the counselling profession in Ukraine has been developed is through the use of cross-cultural engagement between local supervisees and U.S.-trained international supervisors. This qualitative study examined the phenomenon of the cross-cultural supervisory experiences of twelve participants involved in transnational distance supervision among Ukrainian supervisees, and their U.S.-trained, non-Ukrainian supervisors. Semi-structured interviews were used to elicit participants’ descriptions of their supervisory experiences. Participants identified commitment to the supervisory relationship, the importance of felt supervisor support, shared resources to promote counsellor growth, and in-person meetings in the supervisee’s context prior to the start of the supervisory relationship as the most important aspects of supervision. The researchers highlight implications and propose recommendations for counsellor educators and supervisors desiring to implement cross-cultural or transnational supervision in different cultural contexts.

辅导员教育工作者在国际辅导专业的发展中面临着复杂的挑战。乌克兰咨询专业发展的一种方式是利用当地受监管者和受过美国培训的国际监管者之间的跨文化交流。这项定性研究考察了乌克兰受监管者及其受过美国培训的非乌克兰监管者中涉及跨国远程监管的 12 名参与者的跨文化监管经验现象。半结构化访谈被用来引出参与者对其监督经历的描述。参与者确定了对监督关系的承诺，感受到监督者支持的重要性，共享资源以促进辅导员成长，监督关系开始之前在被监督人的背景下举行的面对面会议是监督的最重要方面。研究人员强调了影响，并为希望在不同文化背景下实施跨文化或跨国监督的辅导员教育者和主管提出建议。
