Individual Counselling

Student life can be stressful. Instead of dealing with it alone, talking to a student counsellor may help for a start. Our counsellors are ever ready to have a chat about any problems you may have – whether it’s schoolwork, family or relationship issues.

During this period of home-based learning, the counsellors will continue to be available to provide any support you may need via any of these modes:

  • For first-time appointment booking of a Counselling Session
    - Access the Appointment form
    - Email nyp_counsel@nyp.edu.sg

 

  • For General Chat related to Counselling issues (non-crises related)
    - Access Hi-Chat** from your handphone between 1100hrs -1600hrs; Mon - Fri.
    **This chatline does not handle urgent crises.

 

  • For Crisis Matters requiring immediate, urgent attention
    - Call the crisis hotline at 6550 0123 (during office hours)

Student Care Services

As our student, you will have a Personal Mentor assigned to you.

Your Personal Mentor is both a friend and a counsellor, providing you guidance, advice and a listening ear when you need it.

Sometimes, it’s easier to relate to a peer, which is why all first-year students get matched with one. Student Mentors are senior students who will help you settle into life at NYP.

Let’s discuss transitional stress, and ways of dealing with it

 

What is Transitional Stress

With another new academic year coming round the corner, some of us may worry about adapting to life in campus, settling down in a new class, making new friends or fitting in. These concerns could cause anxiety and stress in students.

A transition is any life event that changes your routines, your plans, or what you are familiar and comfortable with. Hence, coming to a new school - and settling down in a completely new environment - is a transition that would need some getting used to. This includes you coming into a new academic year, and having new classmates and lecturers, too. When someone experiences much difficulty getting used to the changes, transitional stress can occur.

Even though transitional stress is a normal experience during change, it could become an issue if you find yourself feeling distressed and having difficulties in getting through your daily routines for extended periods of time. 

Always remember this: You are not alone, and you do not have to be alone in dealing with transitional stress. There are healthy options for managing transitional stress.

 

Steps in dealing with Transitional Stress

Transitions can be stressful, and the apprehension that accompanies the transition can even be scarier than the change itself. However, when you acknowledge that you are going through a period of transition, and learn to understand why this change is difficult for you, you can learn to cope and work through it.

Some ways to deal with transition:

Patience

Be patient with yourself by allowing yourself time to adapt to the new environment.

Balanced lifestyle

Protect your mental health by remaining connected with your social support (friends and family), getting enough sleep, eating healthy and having an exercise routine.

Acceptance

Accept things that cannot be changed. The act of acceptance prepares the mind and body to start making changes to cope with them.

Befriending your fear

  • Speak to a family member or friend.
  • Journal down your feelings and thoughts.
  • Speaking to the socioemotional counsellor – start with making appointment with this link https://for.edu.sg/nyp-counsellingappt.
