This qualitative, descriptive multiple case study examined principal and school counselor descriptions about characteristics that contribute to effective and ineffective professional relationships between school counselors and principals in American, private K-12 schools in Kuwait. Eight participants (four principal-counselor dyads) made up the sample. Participants were purposefully selected based on criteria: they were fluent in English, had worked with their principal/counselor for at least one year, and were currently employed as a principal/counselor in Kuwait. Thematic analysis was used to examine data from semistructured open-ended interviews, open-ended questionnaires, and observational field notes. The results revealed seven themes. The principals and school counselors articulated a strong need for: (a) collective insight, (b) professional leadership, (c) social competence, (d) intentional communication, and (e) mutual respect to have effective professional relationships, and suggested that having a (f) lack of adequate training/professional development, and (g) organizational constraints led to ineffective professional principal-counselor relationships. The results of this study are important for principals, school counselors, and stakeholders associated with American, private K-12 schools in Kuwait. The findings can be used for reflection and discussion, to develop practices, and to advance schoolwide improvements. The researcher made recommendations for future research to examine principal-counselor relationship development over time, the quality of the principal-counselor relationships, as well as effective strategies that principals and school counselors can use to sustain development.
