About Michelle
Michelle Corrigan offers calm, practical support for people feeling stuck, overwhelmed or unsure what to do next. She listens without judgement and helps people talk through what's happening now and what they want to change. Michelle works in straightforward language and focuses on simple, useful steps a person can try between sessions.
Her approach comes from a person-centred background and she draws on attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioural techniques. Sessions look at both what is happening in a person's life and how it shows up inside the body and mind.
Background and approach
Michelle uses conversation and reflective exercises to help people notice patterns and try different ways of responding. She keeps the work warm and interactive and treats each person as an individual. That can mean practical problem-solving for anxiety, sleep or work stress, or gentler exploration around grief, relationship issues or past trauma.
The emphasis is on helping people regain a sense of control and clearer direction. Michelle has six years' experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy - BACP. She offers sessions in English from the United Kingdom and is used to working online and by phone.
People often come to discuss stress, anxiety, low mood, eating or sleeping difficulties, parenting strain, caregiving stress, addiction concerns, body image and identity matters. Michelle aims to help people build practical coping skills while exploring deeper patterns that affect relationships and self-esteem.
Her style suits someone who wants a collaborative, down-to-earth counsellor who will hold them accountable for small changes and listen without rushing. Michelle welcomes those ready to take the next step and work steadily towards clearer goals.

Practical therapy approaches for online work
Michelle uses person-centred and attachment-based ideas to create a trusting atmosphere where a person can talk openly about stress, grief or relationship concerns. Person-centred work focuses on non-judgemental listening and helping someone identify what they want to change, while attachment-based ideas look at how early patterns shape current relationships and emotional reactions.She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try alternative responses. CBT-style tasks can be simple homework exercises such as testing a worry, changing a sleep habit or practising a short breathing routine to reduce anxiety between sessions.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through goals and preferences and suggest ways to work that suit the person's needs. Together they review progress and adjust the plan if something is not helping.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and non-verbal feedback, phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or fit around a busy day, and live chat or text messaging support people who prefer written reflection or quick notes between sessions. These options help people keep continuity of care while fitting therapy into everyday life.
