Michelle Corrigan offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief or life changes. She meets each person where they are and focuses on what is happening now. Sessions are conversational and aim to find small, manageable steps forward.

She uses a person-centred approach that keeps the client's needs at the heart of the work. Michelle also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape present reactions.

Background and approach

Cognitive behavioural techniques are used when helpful to identify unhelpful thinking and try new ways of responding. Michelle describes her style as warm and interactive. She helps people talk through what is blocking them and explores how emotions show up in the body.

Work can include practical coping strategies as well as reflecting on patterns that repeat in relationships and self-worth. Her background includes six years of practice and membership of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy, BACP. This means she follows standards set by that organisation and brings professional experience to sessions.

Michelle often works creatively and flexibly, tailoring sessions to each person's needs. That might mean more talking, some structured exercises, or exploring feelings through different techniques. The aim is steady, realistic progress toward clearer thinking and greater emotional balance.

How her approaches work online

Attachment-based work looks at patterns formed in early relationships and how they affect current trust and closeness. Online sessions can be used to name those patterns and practise new ways of relating in everyday life.

Person-centred counselling focuses on the person rather than labels. The therapist offers a respectful, accepting space where someone can talk things through and be listened to without judgement. This approach helps with self-esteem, life transitions and emotional processing.

Cognitive behavioural techniques involve spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical exercises. Online formats are useful for setting short homework tasks, tracking progress and practising coping strategies between sessions.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, suggest options and adjust the plan over time so it fits the person's needs. This is a collaborative process that aims for realistic, achievable change.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing or want more frequent brief contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments.
