Michelle Corrigan
Warm counsellor for anxiety and life change
About Michelle
Michelle Corrigan offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed or stuck. She helps with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, addiction concerns, low mood and self‑esteem. Sessions are welcoming and warm, aimed at making change feel manageable rather than overwhelming.
Michelle focuses on what is happening now and what has led someone to this point. Conversations are straightforward and centred on the person in front of her. She listens for both outer pressures and inner responses, including how emotions affect the body.
Background and approach
Her work draws on person‑centred and humanistic foundations. This means she treats people as individuals and follows their pace. She also uses ideas from attachment work and cognitive approaches to help with patterns that keep repeating.
Michelle brings six years of clinical experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy, which is recorded as BACP. She blends talking therapy with creative elements when useful, such as guided reflection or mindfulness‑style practices. This can help shift stuck patterns in a concrete way.
Sessions typically look at current problems and practical steps forward. Michelle supports people to identify blocks, practise new responses and try small changes between sessions. The aim is clearer choices, steadier mood and more confidence to face daily challenges.

How these approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment‑based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can help identify recurring attachment responses and develop new ways of relating that feel safer and more manageable. Client‑centred therapy focuses on the person's own pace and experience, with the counsellor offering non‑judgemental listening and reflection to support insight and self‑direction. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot thinking and behaviour patterns that maintain anxiety or low mood and then practise concrete changes between sessions.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Michelle will talk through goals and try methods that match the person's needs and preferences. Together they review what helps and adapt the work as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text‑based messaging. Video gives face‑to‑face interaction for deeper conversation, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and messaging works well for short check‑ins or step‑by‑step tasks. These options make therapy more flexible around work, caregiving or mobility needs and allow therapy to continue even when life is busy.
