Michelle Corrigan, BACP

Michelle Corrigan is a counsellor who aims to help people facing big life changes and everyday pressures. She works in a warm, interactive way and focuses on what is happening now and what has led someone to this point. Conversations may be purely verbal or include other expressive ways of working, depending on the person. Michelle uses a person-centred approach and treats each client as an individual.

Michelle helps people talk through stress, anxiety, relationship issues, grief and changes linked to midlife. She also offers support for addiction, sleeping and eating difficulties, self-esteem and career concerns. Additional areas she addresses include attachment and abandonment issues, caregiving strain, chronic illness, and body image worries.

Her background is broadly humanistic and integrative. She draws on person-centred ideas and attachment-based thinking to understand how relationships shape feelings. Cognitive behavioural ideas may be used to spot patterns of thinking that keep problems going.

Sessions are intended to look at both the outer situation and the inner experience. That means discussing practical triggers and how stress shows up in the body and emotions. Michelle aims to help people identify blocks to growth and small steps they can try between sessions.

Michelle has six years' experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy, listed as BACP. If someone is ready to make a change, she offers supportive, non-judgemental space to begin that work.

How Michelle’s approaches translate to remote counselling

Michelle draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings and responses. This approach helps people understand patterns that affect current connections and emotional safety, useful for anxiety and relationship concerns.

She also works from a person-centred, client-centred stance which places the client's experience at the centre of the work. That means sessions begin by listening closely and following what matters most to the person seeking support.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Michelle collaborates with each person to decide what feels most useful, testing different ways of working and adjusting as goals and needs become clearer.

Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time so people can use shorter breaks or evenings more easily. If you prefer a quieter check-in or not being on camera, mention that when arranging sessions. The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the current options before booking to ensure they fit your routine and technical setup.
