NCU's Counseling and Psychological Services Centre is located on the first floor of Robinson Hall facing the Computer and Information Sciences Department on the institution's Mandeville campus

The CPSC, under the leadership of its Assistant Director, Mrs. Janice Stewart, seeks to guide individuals who have problems coping with life’s challenges to get the help they need from a professional. 

Mrs. Stewart posits that the service team at the Centre is obligated to keep its clients’ information confidential according to the ethical codes that govern practice and standards established by the institution. This is important as, individuals who use the Centre are reassured that whatever matters they discuss with the professionally trained counsellours, remain private. 

For many, the Centre is a place where wrongs are made right, where despair becomes hope, where aspirations are given flight, and where a heart shut off from love finds a new purpose in life. Many persons often speak with great delight about the new lease on life they acquire after availing themselves of the services offered at the centre. Individuals share the fact that they are appreciative of their counsellours who pray with them at the end of each session. They tell us that they are comfortable with their counsellours who do not judge but provide sound and timely advice during their time of need. 

But the Centre doesn’t impact the University and its publics through counseling sessions alone. It sets up public forums like the Professional Enhancement Training (PET) Seminars where, those who fear the intimacy of a private session can find comfort in the public arena. 

The seminars run throughout the academic year and are geared towards the motivation and enhancement of those in attendance. Qualified professionals are often brought in to speak about matters such as: How to choose a career that is geared towards your strengths, How to handle stress and stressors, How to handle love and relationships, and other general topics that individuals may have difficulties with.
