About Michelle

Michelle Corrigan is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with six years' experience. She offers person-centred, conversational therapy aimed at getting to what matters now. Michelle works with issues such as stress, anxiety, relationships, grief and coping with life changes, and also helps with concerns including blended family issues and attachment difficulties.

Sessions focus on what is happening in the here and now. Michelle encourages open dialogue and looks at both external circumstances and the inner responses they create. She pays attention to how stress shows up in the body as well as in thoughts and emotions.

Her background is integrative, rooted in person-centred and humanistic ideas. She describes a practical, interactive style and sometimes uses creative or energetic ways of working alongside talk. Michelle also draws on elements of Gestalt practice and life experience with yoga and shamanic approaches.

Clients can expect a conversational process that explores what is blocking movement and what might help create change. Michelle aims to identify small, practical steps people can try between sessions. She frames the work as collaborative and grounded in everyday concerns rather than technical jargon.

She is a member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP). Sessions are offered in English and are aimed at adults seeking support for the issues listed above. Before booking, readers should confirm session options and formats that suit their circumstances.

How her therapeutic approaches work online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on the patterns people form in close relationships. Online sessions using attachment ideas look at how past bonds affect current trust, closeness and conflict, which can be useful for loyalty dilemmas and blended family dynamics.

Client-Centred Therapy puts the client's experience at the centre. The counsellor listens without directing, helping the person talk through what matters now and find their own solutions. This approach supports people who need time to make sense of change or decide next steps.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns and tests practical changes. It suits people who want short-term tools to reduce anxiety, manage stress or shift routines that no longer work.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Michelle will discuss what feels most useful and adapt methods to fit the client's goals and preferences. Together they review what helps and adjust the plan as the work progresses.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It also lets people try sessions from a quieter location or use audio-only contact if that suits them better.
