The study was set out to investigate stress coping strategies among Guidance Counsellors in the performance of their jobs. One research question and four hypotheses were formulated to guide the study. Two instruments were used to collect data for the study. One hundred and ten copies of the instruments were administered on one hundred and ten Guidance Counsellors or respondents. One hundred and four copies of the questionnaire were retrieved showing about 95 percent return rate. The percentage and ? test statistics were used to analyse the data. Some of the findings showed that there is no significant difference between Guidance Counsellors in big and small secondary schools in their choice of relaxation as stress coping strategy. There is no significant difference between Guidance Counsellors in urban and rural secondary schools in their choice of music as stress coping strategy. There is no significant difference between male and female Guidance Counsellors in their choice of regular physical exercise as stress coping strategy.
