“…Ostracism behavior may greatly affect a child's learning process, because it is referred to as bullying. Bullying is an aggressive behavior of a person or group of people with the aim of hurting someone physically or psychologically (Amnda et al, 2020;Aristya, 2020;Flowers et al, 2020;Verasammy & Cooper, 2021). Bullying is able to reduce students' desire to go to school (Utami & Astuti, 2019;Wakhid et al, 2019).…”

“…Practitioners (namely school counsellors) should also refrain from suggesting that a mistake posted online will be lifelong, as evidence suggests that using fear-mongering does not protect victims of cyberbullying. Verasammy and Cooper (2021) argue that therapists take bullying (including cyberbullying) seriously. A recent study suggested that a current popular technique to assist young people is incorporating creative media, which presents a more positive image of electronic media (if electronic) in therapy.…”

“…Bullying is a common issue that practitioners face when working with clients in therapy, and this is especially predominant when working with adolescents (Verasammy & Cooper, 2021). Jones (2020) argues that whilst counselling interventions are helpful for some experiencers of bullying, the limitations of some approaches (in this case, person-centred) can lead to clients not having the coping mechanisms for their bullying experiences.…”

This paper examines cyberbullying concerning therapeutic interventions. A section on bullying and how bullying impacts the therapeutic environment is included. The author provides his definition of bullying to incorporate cyberbullying and how it is no longer a “new issue” but an evolving one. The current status of therapeutic interventions used to support victims of cyberbullying has been explored, emphasising their effectiveness in assisting those experiencing bullying. A segment has been implemented to comprehend whether practitioners fully understand the potential implications of cyberbullying on clients, whether bullying is still seen as a “rite of passage” and what the possible consequences of this could be. Peer interventions and support groups concerning cyberbullying have been referenced, including The KiVa Programme, the Shared Concern Method and The Circle of Friends Method. These have highlighted specific examples of therapeutic and nontherapeutic approaches to intervene with cyberbullying. A section on potential further training is presented for practitioners working within educational environments. Moreover, physical, psychological, sexual and relational bullying are discussed in the article when applicable, with the umbrella term “bullying” used to discuss all forms of bullying at once. The paper has uncovered two key messages: (1) cyberbullying requires more awareness in counselling and is no longer a new issue and (2) more extensive training is required to assist therapists to work with cyberbullying victims.

IntroductionProvision of school‐ and community‐based counselling services differs in terms of funding, implementation and eligibility criteria across the UK. The existing evidence of the effectiveness of counselling services is mixed, with little consideration of service context, implementation or acceptability. This rapid review seeks to address the gaps in the extant evidence syntheses by exploring the effectiveness, implementation and acceptability of school‐ and community‐based counselling services in the UK.MethodsA systematic literature search was conducted in five electronic databases. Grey literature searches were conducted in 23 national government and third‐sector organisational websites. The searches focussed on studies examining counselling interventions aimed at children aged 7–18 years that examined either effectiveness, implementation, acceptability or context.ResultsFifty‐four studies were included in the review. The few RCT studies suggest that there is no clear evidence of effectiveness of the therapeutic approach, due to mixed findings. There is some tentative evidence for weaker study designs that counselling may have positive impacts across different settings. The service is highly valued by learners, teachers and parents and is believed to improve well‐being; however, it is often seen as a discrete service that is not well‐embedded within the education system.ConclusionsThere is mixed evidence for the effectiveness of school‐ and community‐based counselling. However, this needs to be understood in the context of acceptability and implementation. Future work is needed to improve the implementation of services by considering the wider complexity of the systems in which these services are embedded.
