About Michelle
Michelle Corrigan offers a calm, person-centred approach for people feeling stuck, anxious, grieving, or overwhelmed by life changes. She writes plainly and works in the here and now to help clients see what is blocking them and to plan small, practical steps forward. Sessions are conversational and often interactive.
Michelle listens to both what is happening in a person's life and how it shows up in their body and emotions.
Background and approach
She encourages exploration of thoughts, feelings and everyday patterns so people can make changes that feel manageable. Michelle draws on client-centred and humanistic ideas while also using attachment-based and emotion-focused ways of working. That means attention to relationships and to the emotional bonds that shape thoughts and reactions.
Cognitive behavioural ideas are used when helpful to identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviours. She has six years of clinical experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy - BACP. Michelle treats each person as an individual and adapts sessions to their needs, often using creative elements to help insight and change.
People contact her for many concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, sleep and eating issues, self-esteem and career worries. She also supports those facing chronic illness, caregiving stress, body image and attachment issues. Michelle asks clients to reflect on what they want to change and works alongside them to set realistic goals.
Conversations aim to be straightforward, compassionate and focused on practical next steps.

Online support
Client-centred therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. In this style the counsellor listens without judgment, reflects what is said and helps people find their own answers. It is useful for building self-awareness and confidence during times of change.
Cognitive behavioural ideas are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and test small behaviour changes. This can be especially practical for worries, low mood and sleep or eating difficulties where behaviour experiments and simple tools often help.
Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. Michelle collaborates with each person to choose which methods suit their goals and preferences, adjusting as progress is made. This helps people feel involved and clear about the plan for therapy.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a longer session is needed. Phone sessions suit those with limited bandwidth or who prefer not to use video. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to check in between sessions or to fit brief conversations into a busy day. These options help therapy fit around work, family and health needs while keeping the focus on meaningful change.
