Covid-19 pandemic that hit Indonesia since 2020 has made changes in the educational aspect where teachers must be able to adapt to the use of technology and minimize physical interaction. As a result, this also affects students’ well-being where some new things emerged such as learning process that was initially conducted face-to-face, currently shifted into distance learning. Subsequently, students need more psychological guidance from the school especially if the counselling and guidance can be accessed online to maintain students’ conditions and the quality of the learning itself. Therefore, this service team aims to improve the counseling guidance system of SMK Amal Bakti Jati Mulyo of South Lampung during COVID-19 pandemic by developing a website-based counseling application. The methods used in this activity were lecture and questionnaires, where lecture is for application socialization and questionnaires were to see the participants’ attitude regarding to the use of the website-based counselling and guidance application. This service has contributed that by developing this application system, students could do psychological consultation during covid-19 pandemic safety without having physical interaction.
