Introduction
Guidance Counselling covers to correct human behaviour to act with ethical
norms, those problems of the human being in daily life which become severe and
tend to be a suicidal action when the guidance counsellor didnt act immediately.

Insights

As a counsellor, experience is more important but also we need a knowledge in

different theories. In some schools, a guidance counsellor is not licensed yet
sometimes appointed by the school principal and make him/her an instrument to use
their experiences.
Counselling is an intimate form of learning which we need to become an genuine
person in building rapport. It is within the context of such a person to person
connection that the client experience grows. If we hide behind tour own role,
students will likely keep from us and as a result there will be an ineffective
counselling.
In giving guidance services and program in the school they have a school
calendar to follow and not only the guidance counsellor do all things but with the
help of all faculty teachers the guidance services and program are effectively finish.

VI.

Recommendations
1. Early planning to have a more time in preparation of the program to have
an effective program and less hassle.
2. Have an annual orientation about Guidance Counseling and its programs
to avoid misinterpretation of discipline and guidance.
3. Proper training of non-licensed guidance counsellor for them to have a
broader knowledge about counselling.
