Mentoring and guidance is becoming increasingly important in Ghana and around the world. The demands of learners in senior high schools are constantly evolving with changes in society, opening the door to the expansion of counseling services to address academic and other difficulties. This research examines learners' perceptions of counseling and guidance delivery in senior high schools in the Etebubu-Amantin Municipal Corporation, Ghana. Gestalt theory of perception was adopted in the study. An ex post facto research design was used to conduct the research investigation. The target group was all three public senior high students and one private senior high student from the municipality, Ghana. Four senior high schools in the municipality were selected purposively and simple random sampling was applied to obtain the sample. Four hundred students were selected. Data were collected using a questionnaire that was evaluated by counseling professionals; Its reliability index is 0.89, which was fair. Descriptive and inferential analysis of the data was conducted. The study indicated a positive relationship between the relevance of counseling and guidance delivery and academic needs. Furthermore, from the findings, gender of the learners showed significant interest in providing consultation and guidance delivery. Finally, the age of the learners proved to be important in ascertaining their interest in counseling and guidance delivery. The study recommends that teacher counselors' workload should be reduced so that they have time to address the academic and other personal needs of learners.
