If you are worried, distressed or experiencing personal difficulties, help is at hand. The Griffith College community has access to an off-site, external counselling service. Counselling is provided in the strictest of confidence.

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

How do I get in touch with the counsellor?

The counselling team can be reached at (087) 436 0032 (by calling, by text or WhatsApp)

 or by emailing [email protected].

This number and messages are accessed only by the external counselling service and are completely private and confidential. Please note that emails to [email protected]  are automatically forwarded to the external counselling service and no member of Griffith College staff has access to this email.

The external counselling service is available for appointments from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturdays. A 24-hour emergency phone service operates Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.

Our security team, which is on campus 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, can also be reached at 086 818 2370. The team members are trained to assist and support you.
