CREATING POSITIVE CHANGE FOR ADULTS, CHILDREN & YOUNG PEOPLE

Learning to thrive no matter what life throws 

Reconnecting with values to live with vitality

(Formally Abigail Barragry Psychologies)

I am a qualified Child and Educational Psychologist and an integrative therapist, with a broad and varied practice of over 15 years working with adults, teenagers and childen to fulfil their potential and overcome barriers.

​

I use an integrated, evidence based psychological practice to help individuals become 'unstuck', reconnect to their values and regain balance and wellbeing.  This is through individual therapy in a clinic in Sheffield, virtually and via work within school settings.

​

I pride myself in using a boundaried, sharing approach. A trauma informed, relational approach. I do not use an expert model, I always assume the person I work with, is the expert in their own life. I have experinced trauma in my own life and have a diagnosis of ADHD, both of which particulalry help me to relate with and support children and adults who may be neurodivergent or who have encountered adverse experiences.

 

 Much of my work often centres upon:

• connection to values

• self-compassion

• flexibility of thought

• inner child and the importance of 'play'

• Embodiment (body-mind connection)

• Evidence-based psychological processes
