Counselling Team

If you are worried, distressed or experiencing personal difficulties, help is at hand. The Griffith College community has access to on-campus and off-site, external counselling service with a network of over 70 fully trained and equipped therapists to deal with a wide range of issues learners and residents may face. Counselling is provided in the strictest of confidence.

All messages are accessed only by the external counselling service and are completely private and confidential. Please note that emails to counselling@griffith.ie are automatically forwarded to the external counselling service and no member of Griffith College staff has access to this email.

This is free of charge for the first four consultations for learners.
