Lucy McGroarty

Lucy McGroarty has experienced her own share of life’s ups and downs and holds a strong belief that people have the capacity to heal and move forward when they have appropriate support to learn and grow from their experiences.

She is an Integrative Counsellor whose training is grounded in Person Centred, CBT and Psychodynamic approaches, which allows her to draw on a range of therapeutic methods tailored to each person’s needs. Lucy has ten years of experience working with people seeking change and support.

While talking therapy remains her primary focus, further study with the Institute of Arts has led her to incorporate creative tools such as imagery and metaphor. These approaches can be especially helpful for people who are not yet able to put their feelings into words.

Lucy welcomes clients to access counselling from the comfort of their own home and often encourages small comforts—a cup of tea, a warm duvet, or even a pet—to help people feel more at ease during sessions.

Above all, she places great importance on the therapeutic relationship, offering a non-judgemental, open and understanding presence. For Lucy, connection is central to the work of therapy and to helping people make meaningful change.
