About Michelle

Michelle Corrigan works from a person-centered foundation, focusing on the present moment and the factors that have led someone to where they are now. She uses open dialogue that can be both verbal and, at times, energetic, guiding clients to identify what is on their mind, what is blocking personal growth, and how to take practical steps toward change.

Her therapeutic manner is warm and interactive, and she approaches every person as an individual. Sessions explore both the external sources of distress and the inner experience - how thoughts, emotions, and bodily sensations are interconnected, with attention to the ways the body can hold stress.

As an integrative counsellor with roots in person-centered and humanistic theories, Michelle draws on Gestalt practice and brings creative elements from her experience in yoga and shamanic-informed work. She adapts methods to suit each person, combining structure and empathy to address concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, grief, addiction, self-esteem, and life transitions.

Michelle is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), which indicates adherence to professional standards in counselling practice. She offers supportive, nonjudgmental therapeutic space to help people take courageous steps toward a more fulfilling life.

Therapeutic approaches and remote support

Client-centered therapy emphasizes a collaborative, non-directive relationship in which the therapist offers empathy and unconditional positive regard so clients can explore their feelings and find their own solutions; it is often helpful for issues like low self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship concerns. Attachment-based therapy looks at patterns formed in early relationships and how they affect current connections and emotional regulation - it can be useful for relationship difficulties, abandonment wounds, and attachment issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical strategies and is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and certain coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Michelle works collaboratively with clients and with licensed professionals to identify which methods best match a person’s needs, goals, and preferences, and may blend approaches over time to support progress.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to access support from home. These options allow for continuity of care, adaptability to different communication styles, and practical convenience for those managing work, family, or mobility considerations.
