About Michelle
Michelle Corrigan is a counsellor who aims to make therapy straightforward and approachable. She focuses on what is happening now and what led someone to this point. Sessions are conversational and may include creative elements to help people move past blocks and put change into practice.
Her style is warm and interactive. She treats each person as an individual and works alongside them rather than telling them what to do.
Background and approach
Conversations can look at external stresses and how those pressures show up in thoughts, feelings and the body. Michelle draws on person-centred ideas and humanistic thinking while mixing in other helpful ways of working. She uses narrative ideas to help people reframe their stories and attachment-based thinking to look at important relationships and patterns.
Cognitive and emotion-focused tools are used when practical steps or emotional processing are needed. She brings six years of professional experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy, BACP. That membership is shown as BACP here and indicates a recognised professional association.
Sessions can include chat, phone calls, video or messaging, depending on what suits the person. Michelle supports a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and family issues, addiction, self-esteem and coping with life changes.
If someone is ready to begin, the usual next step is to use the platform Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and then book sessions according to her schedule.

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Michelle directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
Approaches you might use and how online sessions work
Michelle uses Narrative Therapy to help people retell and reframe their life stories, which can reduce shame and open new ways of living. Narrative work is useful for identity questions, trauma responses and making sense of repeated patterns.Attachment-Based Therapy is used to look at how early and important relationships shape current expectations and reactions. This approach helps when relationship patterns, trust or emotional closeness are causing difficulty.
Client-Centred principles guide the way sessions are run, with a focus on listening, acceptance and supporting the person to find their own solutions. These ideas often sit alongside practical CBT or emotion-focused tools when needed.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then try different ways of working to find the best fit for each person.
Online work is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging to give flexibility. Video is useful for full conversations and visual cues, phone can be better when bandwidth is limited, chat and messages suit short check-ins or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments.
