About Michelle

Michelle Corrigan is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, trauma and relationship difficulties. She approaches each person as an individual and aims to create a warm, interactive space where someone can speak about what’s on their mind and what’s holding them back. Michelle works from a person-centred place and invites practical steps for change as therapy progresses.

Her work often looks at both the outer causes of distress and the inner experience of it.

Background and approach

She pays attention to thoughts, feelings and the ways the body can hold stress. Sessions use conversation and sometimes non-verbal, energetic methods to help people notice patterns and make changes. Michelle describes her approach as integrative, with roots in person-centred and humanistic ideas.

She also draws on Gestalt practice and brings in creative ways of working informed by yoga and shamanic experience. This mix is used to tailor sessions to each person’s needs rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy, sometimes written as BACP.

Michelle has six years of experience working with a broad range of concerns, including coping with life changes, addictions, body image and compassion fatigue. If someone is ready to start, she aims to support and empower them to take steps towards a more fulfilling life.

The emphasis is on collaboration, practical actions and helping people implement change at a pace that feels manageable.

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape how people connect today. In simple terms it looks at patterns in relationships, helps someone notice attachment needs and supports learning new ways to feel and relate. This approach can be helpful for people who struggle with trust, abandonment fears or repeating the same relationship problems.

Client-Centred Therapy centres the person’s own experience. The counsellor listens without judgement, reflects what is said and helps the client discover their own solutions. This style is useful for people wanting space to talk, to feel heard and to build self-trust.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michelle will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their needs and goals. That choice is reviewed over time and can shift as therapy progresses to match changing priorities.

Online sessions give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when video is hard or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, notes between sessions or people who prefer writing to speaking. These options help fit therapy around work, family life and travel while keeping the focus on the therapeutic work rather than logistics.
