My name is Grace Harrison. I am a qualified and accredited psychotherapist and counsellor. I hold a Masters with Honours in Integrative Psychotherapy with Dublin City University and a Bachelor of Arts with Honours in Psychology and Sociology with the University of Limerick. I run a busy private practice in Ennis Therapy Centre and I work part-time as a psychotherapist and counsellor in 'Let's Get Talking', Galway City. I also lead the delivery of Let's Get Talking's Youth Mental Wellness Programmes, for 14-17 year olds. In addition to this, I co-facilitate aftercare addiction recovery groups with Bushypark Addiction Treatment Centre, Co. Clare. I practice in line with the IACP ethical framework and code of practice.
I have a particular interest in youth mental health and am currently undergoing a Diploma in Adolescent Psychotherapy. During my Masters programme I completed two trainee placements in the student counselling services of Dublin Institiute of Technology and Mary Immaculate College, Limerick. My research topic of choice focused on student counselling services in Ireland. This research will soon be published and will be publicly available to read in the international peer-reviewed, 'Counselling & Psychotherapy Research' Journal in Spring 2021.

Eating Disorders
Family Issues

Couples Therapy
Couple problems are viewed as a product of the dynamic in the couple relationship. Couples' communication styles and behavioral patterns can lead to feelings of being unheard and unappreciated which may cause frequent arguments, a loss of intimacy and overall couple dissatisfaction. Couple problems may evolve from home or work stress, disagreements regarding parenting, infidelity, sex issues, mental health difficulties or addiction. I offer a safe and supportive space for couples to communicate with one and other and to better understand their own emotional experience and communication style such that they can navigate life challenges presented in relationship more effectively.
