In that case, I would rather propose
c''^\markup{\hcenter "Centered" }
or
\override TextScript #'self-alignment-X = #CENTER c''^"Centered"

However, if I understand correctly, the question was about the
alignment point of the note, not of the text itself. You can get
it centered on the note head by the setting:

\override TextScript #'X-offset =#(ly:make-simple-closure
                     `(,+
                       ,(ly:make-simple-closure (list 
ly:self-alignment-interface::centered-on-x-parent))
                       ,(ly:make-simple-closure (list 
ly:self-alignment-interface::x-aligned-on-self))))

I recommend you to use copy/paste to insert this into your file,
since it's very critical to get all backwards quote marks and commas
correct.
