The primary objective was to assess how well these services meet student needs. Specific objectives included determining the effectiveness of the counseling process, identifying challenges that prompt students to seek counseling, examining the necessity of these services, analyzing the results of the counseling program, exploring barriers preventing access, and suggesting measures to enhance the counseling department's effectiveness. A convenience sampling method was used, gathering data from 61 students across various academic levels and disciplines through a survey questionnaire. The questionnaire, distributed electronically via MS Forms, had two parts: one for demographic information and another for specific questions on counseling services, answered using a five-point Likert scale.

Counseling services significantly impacted students' well-being and their ability to adapt to university life. Psychological guidance and academic support emerged as crucial for improving students' academic and social adjustment.
