About Michelle
Michelle Corrigan offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or life changes. She welcomes those wrestling with relationships, self-esteem, addiction and issues linked to trauma. Michelle uses straightforward conversation to identify what is getting in the way and to help clients take small, realistic steps forward.
She works from a person-centred viewpoint, staying focused on the here and now and what has led someone to this point.
Background and approach
Sessions are warm and interactive, with dialogue that can be verbal and sometimes include energy-based elements. Michelle pays attention to both external pressures and inner responses, including how emotions show up in the body. Her approach is integrative, drawing on person-centred and humanistic ideas alongside practices from Gestalt.
She also brings experience from yoga and shamanic methods and adapts techniques to each person’s needs. This means sessions can include creative ways of working as well as talk therapy. Michelle has six years of experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy, BACP.
That membership is shown as BACP in her credentials. She aims to support people who want to make changes and build more satisfying lives. In sessions she focuses on clear, doable actions and on understanding patterns such as attachment or avoidant tendencies.
People can expect a supportive space to notice what is holding them back and to try practical ways of moving forward. If someone is ready to start, Michelle offers help to hold the process and encourage gradual change.

How Michelle works online
Michelle also works with cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and try small, practical experiments. CBT-style techniques can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep problems by changing unhelpful patterns in thinking and behaviour.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Michelle will work collaboratively to decide which blend of methods fits a person’s needs, goals and preferences. She adapts the tools she uses as therapy progresses so the work stays relevant and manageable.
If you are considering online therapy, please confirm current session options before booking as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow short check-ins when that suits. It also lets people use approaches like reflective conversation and practical CBT exercises from a place that works for them.
