Bullying Counselling

Bullying Counselling & Bully Behaviour Therapy

Bullying is when you repeat an unwanted behaviour with an intent to hurt others. It could be either physical or emotional in the form of verbal threats, physical assault, name calling, gossiping or even cyber bullying. You could be taunting other of their age, sex, disability, religion, belief, or marriage. And, it is very important to protect yourself and your child from harassment and even seeking help from professional counsellors if your child is bullying others. The best thing to do is to find expert help near you.

Doesn’t matter if you are being bullied or have been bullied in the past, it is always helpful if you seek counselling. An online counsellor will help you get through the effects of harassment without any judgements.

Effects of Bullying

If you have been bullied in the past it could lead to mental health problems like anxiety, depression and low self-esteem. It can also lead to increased rates of suicidal tendencies, substance-abuse, addiction issues, affect academic performance and career, in later stages of life.

Types of Bullying

Bullying can be of different types:

• Verbal Bullying: Calling someone unpleasant names or attacking someone's appearance is called verbal bullying.



• Physical Bullying: Hurting someone physically by hitting, kicking, punching or scratching in a way that it is intended to cause pain.



• Indirect Bullying: Gossiping or spreading rumours about a person is called indirect bullying.



• Cyberbullying: In the day and age of the internet, cyber bullying is very common. This form of bullying can include unwanted texts of a sexual nature, and hacking someone’s social media accounts. For adults, this type of bullying can happen in the workplace with belittling instant messages.

How can bullying counselling help?

An online counsellor will help you by engaging you in self-exploration so that you become aware of your own attitudes towards bullying. This will minimise the possibility of bullying behaviours. Another method to counter bullying is by rejecting the idea of bullying behavior. There is no denial to the fact that it is a legitimate issue that requires attention and intervention. It requires not only to educate the parents and caregivers about bullying, develop positive coping skills, reaching out to others and stand up for themselves in a safe manner.
