Abstract
- Research suggests that bullying is one of the most common presenting issues for young people accessing counselling. In this study, we explored helpful aspects of counselling for young people who have experienced bullying. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 10 participantsand analysed using thematic analysis. Participants identified five helpful counsellor activities: (a) counsellors' way of relating, (b) creating safety, (c) incorporating creative media, (d) teaching strategies, and (e) offering advice. They also identified four helpful client activities: (f) trusting, (g) talking, (h) expressing emotions, and (i) remembering and applying techniques. Findings suggest that a range of techniques and practices, aligned to different therapeutic orientations, can be of value to these young people. This supports a pluralistic perspective on therapeutic change. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
