Bullying

We often think that bullying is something that just happens in our youth, during our school days and maybe in the playground. Unfortunately bullying is far more common than we may think. Bullying can occur at any age and can be everywhere. It could happen during any time of our life e.g. at school, at work, online, at home and many more.

Bullying can take many forms including:

physical assault
teasing
making threats
name calling
cyber bullying

Bullying can happen anywhere: at school, travelling to and from school, in sports teams, between neighbours or in the workplace. Bullying is very upsetting for people and some feel they can’t cope. If this becomes the case, speak with someone you trust and feel you can speak to for advice.

Counselling therefore helps the person understand what is happening and how to cope. Looking at assertiveness techniques in teaching the client how to confidently express their rights in an open and honest way and also using CBT allowing the person to alter their thought pattern.
