About Michelle
Michelle Corrigan is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with six years' experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, addiction, and a range of life changes. Sessions focus on what is happening now and what is getting in the way of moving forward.
She uses a person-centred way of working that keeps conversation practical and grounded. That means talking through what is on someone's mind, noticing thoughts and patterns, and trying different ways to respond. Michelle also pays attention to how stress shows up in the body and suggests practical ways to manage those physical reactions.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside attachment-based and client-centred ideas. She aims to help people spot unhelpful thinking, test alternatives, and build small changes that fit daily life. She also brings in emotionally focused and existential perspectives when these suit a person's concerns.
Michelle describes her style as interactive and often uses creative techniques alongside talking. She has experience with Gestalt-influenced work and draws on practices from yoga and shamanic-inspired methods where appropriate. Her background is presented through the lens of what she offers in sessions rather than formal training lists.
People choosing to work with Michelle should expect practical conversation, some experiential exercises, and step-by-step planning for change. Booking begins by using the platform matching steps and scheduling an initial session to set goals and priorities.
How her approaches translate to online work
Michelle combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, attachment-based ideas and person-centred practice in ways that suit short-term problem solving and deeper relational work. CBT helps by focusing on specific thoughts and behaviours and testing small changes to reduce anxiety or improve sleep. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people notice recurring themes in relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit a client's needs, goals and preferences, and may adjust techniques as sessions progress. The emphasis is on practical steps you can try between meetings and reviewing what helps.
The platform listing does not specify which session formats are used, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, provide a shorter check-in if needed, or allow for audio-only meetings when video is difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt pace and exercises to suit phone or video work, helping integrate therapy into everyday life without requiring long travel.
