The authoress describes intercultural situations in counseling she witnessed or participated in as a counselor while working for EAASSG - East Area Asylum Seekers Support Group - 'Common Ground' located in the eastern part of Newcastle upon Tyne. The aim of the paper is to present intercultural contexts in counseling and the way in which British counselor take a practical advantage of the findings of research on culture codes. The authoress presents the classification of culture codes suggested by Margaret Malewska elaborated on the basis of the concept of culture codes defined by G. Hofstede and E. Hall. Globalization, socio-economic changes and migration result in new challenges for social aid institutions in Poland. The awareness and knowledge of culture codes plays a significant role in the work of counselors. Particular codes present the diversity of culture and world concepts recognized by clients. They offer counselors a better insight into the understanding of the personal situation of particular clients.

In the conclusion the authoress expresses her hope that Polish social workers will undertake all efforts to be well prepared while working with others and their culture.
