About Michelle
Michelle Corrigan is a counsellor who meets people where they are. She focuses on the present moment and helps clients work through what is on their mind. Her manner is warm and interactive, and she treats each person as an individual.
Michelle draws on person-centred roots and humanistic ideas to keep sessions grounded in the client's experience. She notices how thoughts, feelings and the body join together when stress builds, and she helps people identify what might be blocking change.
Background and approach
Sessions use conversation and sometimes gentle, energetic techniques to open new ways of thinking and feeling. Her practice is integrative, blending client-centred listening with elements from Gestalt practice. She also uses approaches that focus on attachment and relationships and ideas from cognitive behavioural work when they suit a person's goals.
This mix lets her adapt to what each person needs in the moment. Michelle is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She has six years of experience working with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, stress, trauma, grief, addiction and self-esteem.
She also supports people with issues around work, sleep, eating and caregiving strain. Her style aims to be empowering rather than prescriptive. Michelle helps people notice patterns, try small changes and put new habits into practice.
She encourages realistic steps that fit everyday life and personal values.

Online support
How Michelle’s approaches translate to online therapy
Everyone benefits from clear ideas about how therapy will work. Existential therapy encourages people to consider meaning, choice and personal values. It can help with life transitions, grief and questions about purpose by inviting reflection and honest conversation.Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns influence current connections. It helps people notice relational habits, communicate needs more clearly and build more supported ways of relating. Client-centred therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the session and uses empathic listening to support self-directed change.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work collaboratively to try methods that fit the person’s goals, needs and preferences. Together they will adjust pace and technique until a comfortable way of working is found.
Online sessions can be held by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues, phone sessions can fit into a busy day, and chat or messaging suits short check-ins and people who prefer not to be on camera. These options give flexibility for scheduling and for choosing how to take part.
