Meet our Counsellors
The Department is rich in terms of Human Resource as the University has employed qualified and dedicated Counsellors who handle cases professionally ensuring utmost confidentiality of what is shared.
Kabarak University has a vibrant team of well-trained peer counselors who can handle the challenges faced by their peers and who have more understanding of what their peers are going through. They also act as a bridge in connecting those peers who may need extra help by referring them to the university counselors. Our peer counselors are trained in counseling theories, basic counseling skills, communication skills, professional ethics, career guidance, emerging issues, personal growth and behavioral changes, and crisis intervention, among other lived experiences. This team is vibrant and ready to help anytime, anywhere, because they are available in classes, hostels, and non-residential areas. To identify them, they are always on branded blue t-shirts every Thursday, making it easy to identify them. All our counselors are serving under the Dean of students department. All our counselors are members of counseling bodies—the Kenya University Professional Counselors Association (KUPCA), KCPA, among other regulatory bodies that help them to cover their mandate as professionals.
Their offices are located at the student center.
