This paper explored teacher counsellors' views regarding the support needed in senior secondary schools in Ohangwena region of Namibia. The study was quantitative in nature and a non-experimental design that involved a survey was used. The population of the study comprised of the teacher counsellors in all the senior secondary schools in Ohangwena region. Data was collected using questionnaires which were administered to a sample of twenty-six (26) teacher counsellors. Teacher counsellors were purposively sampled. The data was analysed by use of descriptive statistics in the form of frequencies and percentages. Results indicated that teacher counsellors needed to be supported by parents, teachers, school principals, Inspectors of Education, Regional School Counsellors, and other teacher counsellors, in order to improve the quality of School Guidance and Counselling services in that region of the country. The study recommended that principals, teachers and Inspectors of Education should be educated about the importance of guidance and counselling in schools and their role in the implementation of it. It was also recommended that the number of Regional School Counsellors should be increased to enable them to support the schools in the implementation of guidance and counselling.
