About Michelle
Michelle Corrigan offers a calm, personalised approach for people facing parenting pressures and related stress. She keeps sessions straightforward and focused on what is happening now. Conversations are warm and interactive, and she treats each person as an individual.
Michelle uses a person-centred way of working that stays rooted in humanistic principles. That means conversations centre on the client’s experience and what feels most important to them in the moment.
Background and approach
She pays attention to both external pressures and how those pressures show up inside the body and emotions. Her sessions combine talking with practical exploration. Clients might look at what is blocking change, try different ways of responding, and plan small steps to move forward.
She sometimes brings creative elements into the work, drawing on ideas from Gestalt practice and other experiential methods. Michelle has six years of professional experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy, BACP. She works with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, grief, addictions, sleep and eating difficulties, relationship strain, career worries and compassion fatigue.
People seeking support around parenting challenges can expect a non-judgemental space to speak openly about daily pressures. Michelle aims to support practical problem solving alongside exploring feelings, so clients can find clearer ways to manage and make changes that fit their life.

Approaches you can use online
Michelle brings together person-centred and attachment-informed ideas to help people understand how early relationships and current interactions shape feelings and behaviour. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and helps people notice and change repeating dynamics that cause distress.She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. CBT offers practical tools for anxiety, low mood, sleep and unhelpful habits, helping clients try small changes and see what works.
Choosing a method is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then adapt the approach as work unfolds. Clients are encouraged to give feedback so sessions stay relevant and practical.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter conversation is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins, reflective writing and people who prefer typing over speaking. These options make therapy more flexible and help fit support around parenting and everyday life.
