Counselling Services

At NBCC, mental health and well-being are important and valued.  We understand that a healthy mind is essential for personal growth, academic success, and fulfillment. That’s why we provide comprehensive support and resources to our students.&

Through our dedicated counselling services, we strive to create a safe and inclusive environment where students can seek guidance, share their concerns, and develop effective coping strategies. Our Counsellors are here to listen, support, and help enhance your wellbeing.

Along with counselling support, Counselling Services offers workshops, wellness activities, and resources to promote mental health literacy and wellbeing.

Your NBCC Counsellors

NBCC Counsellors are available from Monday to Friday and offer flexible appointment scheduling options, including virtual and in-person meetings.

They help students overcome obstacles, develop coping strategies, enhance self-awareness, and make informed decisions. They also help promote mental health, emotional resilience, and academic success.
