        seconds += 1
        Timer.config(text=str(seconds))
        Timer.after(1000, count)
    count()

Here is the frame the will contain the button and the seconds counted

# Creating the frame
root = tk.Tk()
# Setting Label
root.title("Counter")
Timer = tk.Label(root, fg="blue")
Timer.pack()
# Calling the Timer Function
seconds_Timer(Timer)
# Stop Button
button_STP = tk.Button(root, text='Stop', fg="red" , width=40, command=root.destroy)
# Adding the button
