This research paper aims to review the existing literature on coping with stress; dimensions of coping; and the need for counselling in students lives. Stress is something that everyone nowadays is dealing with. Stress has tightened its grip on students, as they compete in this fast – paced world at every stage of their academic careers. Stress has nearly become a way of life for some students. Coping with stress has become an essential part of the students’ lives. Students cope with stress in distinct ways; two major ways to cope with stress: one is problem- solving, and the other is managing emotions. Students are the building blocks of a nation, and it is essential for teachers, parents and counsellors to grasp the causes that may cause stress in students and to recognise ways to assist them deal. Thus, counselling is the only way for students to overcome any stressful situations.
