There are times when allegations of bullying lead to anxiety and depression in the person accused, especially if they see themselves as caring, considerate people and the accusations are felt to be ill-founded. Psychotherapy explores the history and context of the situation as well as personalities and dynamics with a view to gaining personal insight and making sense of the situation.

If a person accused of bullying acknowledges that they have been bullying and must make some changes in the way they relate to others. it is possible to improve emotional awareness, communication skills and learn to use power and influence more constructively.
