The present paper reports a study designed to find out the impact of intervention on perceived stress of college students. The stress of forty freshers in the college was measured by using a culturally usable Stress Scale (Mishra & Rath, 2015) along with a nine- point perceived quality of life scale developed by the authors for the purpose of the present study to understand the stress appraisal of the students. After screening, ten subjectswith high stress score and very low perceived quality of life were provided with Neo-Rogerian counselling as intervention. Results of both qualitative and quantitative analyses indicated that counselling has a significant role in changing the stress perception of the students.
