Therapy is a form of healing that should be gained from a constant guidance and counselling procedure to meet several challenges in all members of the society. This paper will have an up-close and candid analysis of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy as a remedy or a guidance and counselling tool on victims of bullying in secondary schools. The main emphasis will be on its effectiveness. Guidance is a system and continuous process of determining and providing for the development of members of the society. This paper will be able to ascertain that Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is a very effective therapy that does not only change an individual character and personality but also deface the ugly trend of bullying in schools and eventual make students to have a self esteem that will gear them to attain positive grades in their academic voyage.

Guidance is a process that helps the society to understand itself, accept and use the abilities, aptitudes and interests in order to meet desirable aspirations. Helps the society members to give plausible answers to the question, ‘who am I?’ Therefore, guidance involves as much as what counselling requires (Tan, 2004). That is, counselling is the overall fabric of guidance. Because it is a process in which the society members sit down with a counsellor and iron out things. That is, the counselled can be able to solve demanding problems when a reasonable understanding is established. Hence, counselling gives the chance to answer the question ‘what shall I do?’ The counsellor in this case has given the counselee a warm atmosphere where there is necessary analysis of things at hand.

Students in schools often experience problems of adjusting to school demands or following school regulations, and striving for academic excellence. Sometimes, students constantly express emotions that reveal anger, depressions, frustrations, or despair. Whereas, students sometimes experience problems related to growth changes and in their peers they indulge in sexual misconducts. In addition, other students may have health related problems, or physical abnormalities that make them have conflicts. One of the major causes is bullying. Conflict among secondary school students is characterized by bullying. It can also be refereed to as peer victimization that is repetitive in nature and meant to harm the victim in all areas. Slapping, kicking, striking, rumour spreading, calling abusive names and barring, are examples of bullying techniques. Bullying is a social delinquency behaviour or anti-social behaviour that has repetitive physical, verbal and psychological abuse on a victim. This paper is going to give an in-depth analysis of how therapy as a method of guidance and counselling can be able to effectively change the bullying vice in secondary students.

Therapy is a one on one charter of guidance and counselling that aims at developing students intellectual abilities. This is where a student is given the opportunity to acquire skills, knowledge and attitudes that are relevant to tackle bullies. Secondly, after the whole therapy session, there will be a balanced personality of the student. And nonetheless, this will help the student to develop personal abilities that will enhance individual solution to problems in and out of school.

Bullying is a social delinquency that needs therapeutic correction in a cognitive way. Simply, cognitive method will allow mental operations and thinking. A psychiatrist or the counsellor should be able to make the counselee to have reliable knowledge, be able to comprehend, apply, analyses, synthesis, and evaluate various aspects of bullying and change his or her personality from within (Schmidt, 2005). Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is an acceptable psychoanalysis that has a psychotherapeutic approach. This is where the counsellor and counselee are able to talk and solve issues. A number of problems that this therapy solves include dysfunctional emotions, anxiety, stress and other behavioural Disorders. Most Medical practitioners use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to treat the above named complications. As said earlier, this paper will critic if this type of therapy will be effective to guide and counsel students with bullying ‘disorders’. This method was made from two kinds of psychotherapies. Cognitive was an earlier designed therapy that was meant to alter or change people’s thoughts, opinion, views, traditions, attitudes, hopes, and innate ideas. And this was a mile stone in psychotherapy. Behavioural therapy on the other hand was meant to guide and make provisions for how people acted; an interpretation of how we think. Therefore, when the two are linked, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is born. Therefore, this is a therapy that makes a person to change the thought and perform the action from the mind. Suc
