Problems of adolescent students are complex, since adolescence is considered as a period of stress and strain and full of turmoil. The demands of academic life are becoming increasingly stressful for students especially for nursing students. Counseling enhances, self-analysis, self-understanding, improves self-esteem, and also understanding of the world. The teacher counselor by taking special interest in the students, develops confidence, alleviates, fear and anxiety and creates students as successful professionals and responsible citizens.
