UPPsi plays a role in planning and implementing psychological service activities, counseling and guidance for the development of students.<\/p>

The word psychology comes from the combination of two Greek words, namely Psyche (Psycho) which means soul, spiritual or mental, and -logos (-logy) which means study. Psychology means the study of the human soul, mental or spiritual. Modern psychology can be defined as a scientific study of the psyche and human behavior. While the definition of counseling according to the Malaysian Board of Counselors (1998) is a systematic process to help relationships based on psychological principles implemented by professional counselors (registered according to the counseling ethics code) to achieve a holistic, good and voluntary change, progress and adjustment in oneself client so that change, progress and adaptation will continue throughout the client’s life. Guidance is a process to help individuals understand themselves and the world around them so that they can use their abilities, capabilities and talents to the fullest (Suradi, 1997).<\/p>
