The goal is to provide students with a convenient, accessible, and effective way to access mental health services and support. The project involves a needs assessment, literature review, conceptual framework development, user interface design, mobile application development, usability testing, data analysis, design changes and evaluation. The methodology will be tailored to the specific needs and goals of the research, and may involve different stages and methods depending on the context and resources available. The expected results of developing a mobile application software as a guidance and counselling tool for students include increased accessibility, improved student well-being, enhanced counselor efficiency, greater student engagement, increased student retention, and improved student satisfaction. At the end of the research the students can be able to use the mobile application software for easy access to counselling and guidance services that can help them cope with various challenges they face in their academic and personal life.
