Abstract: The Confucian-heritage background, the country of origin and the age of the students in this study have all been found to contribute to the problems experienced by these students, the sources of help they use, and how they relate to these problems. These things must then be considered in providing support services for these students. In particular, the importance of these students’ friends in the help-seeking process must be noted and utilised as much as possible.

Key words: adaptation, Confucian-heritage culture, help-seeking behaviour, counselling services, interpersonal relationships, cultural influences, problem solving
