Abstract The main purpose of this research was to investigate the role of counseling in improving students' disciplinary problems in selected secondary school in Nifas silk lafto sub-city,Addis Ababa. The study adopted a mixed method for data collection and data analysis. Target population was 393 which comprised of 358 students, 12 principals, 20 teachers and 3 school counselor all drawn from 3 schools. Stratified random sampling technique was used to select the 358 students and 20 teachers. Availability sampling was used to select Principals' and school counselor. Questionnaire and interview schedule were used to collect data. The data collected through questionnaire was analyzed using descriptive statistics (frequencies and percentages). Data collected using interview schedule were transcribed and organized into themes, categories and sub-categories as they emerged from the data. The study concluded that counseling services didn't adequately contribute to students' disciplinary problems as a result of inadequate facilities, high teachers' work load, lack of counseling rooms/office and lack of cooperation among staff member for providing counseling services were being used in schools.
