About Michelle
Michelle Corrigan is a counsellor who meets people where they are. She offers a warm, interactive style and treats each person as an individual. Her approach focuses on what is happening now and what has led someone to this point.
She uses a person-centred foundation and draws on humanistic ideas to support change. Sessions are conversational and sometimes include non-verbal, energetic elements when helpful. Michelle pays attention to both external stressors and inner experience, including how emotions show up in the body.
With six years of practice, Michelle brings experience working with stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, trauma and abuse, and issues such as codependency. She also supports people coping with life changes, addictions, eating and sleeping difficulties, and self-esteem concerns. Additional areas she addresses include attachment issues, body image and caregiver stress.
Her work is integrative, informed by Gestalt practice, and shaped by what each person needs. Michelle also has experience in yoga and shamanic approaches, which she may draw on where appropriate. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy, known as BACP.
Michelle aims to help people identify what blocks their growth and to take practical steps forward. She describes her role as supporting, holding space and empowering people as they work towards a more fulfilling life.
How her approaches guide online work
Michelle combines person-centred ideas with attachment-informed and cognitive behavioural approaches. Person-centred work focuses on the client’s experience and supports exploration at the client’s pace, which helps when someone feels stuck or unsure how to move forward. Attachment-informed work looks at relationship patterns and early bonds to understand current difficulties, which can be useful for codependency and relationship concerns.Cognitive behavioural techniques help identify unhelpful thoughts and try small practical changes that can reduce distress. These approaches are used together to match what each person needs rather than following a single template. Finding the right mix is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals and preferences and suggest ways of working that fit those aims. Together they review progress and adjust the approach as needed so the work stays relevant and practical. Please check the available session options before booking, as the original biography does not specify formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits. It can also allow people to draw on therapeutic tools between sessions and bring real-life situations into discussion for immediate reflection.
