About Pierre

Pierre Corcoran is a counsellor with four years' experience who draws on several therapies to help people manage stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship issues. He is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and works in the United Kingdom. Pierre aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through difficult feelings and start to make changes.

He describes his way of working as collaborative and practical. Sessions focus on what matters most to the person in front of him, with time given to understand past patterns and how they affect day-to-day life. That might mean looking at how attachment experiences shape close relationships or using thought‑focused tools to manage anxious thinking.

Pierre mixes client-centred listening with techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy and emotionally-focused work. He also draws on attachment ideas and Jungian perspectives to help people make sense of repeated patterns. This flexible blend is used to address concerns such as codependency, grief, addiction, self-esteem and coping with life changes.

He supports people with a wide range of issues including trauma and abuse, ADHD, chronic illness, eating and sleeping difficulties, and career stress. Pierre also offers help around intimacy-related problems, parenting strains and compassion fatigue.

People choosing to work with him can expect a steady, respectful approach that emphasises small, achievable steps. To begin, the usual process is to complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange appointments according to availability.

How relational and practical therapies work online

Pierre uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. That approach helps people understand why they repeat certain behaviours in close relationships and how to try new ways of connecting.

He also uses client-centred therapy, which means sessions begin with careful listening and follow the person's pace. This gives space for people to name what matters and set their own goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Pierre will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and preferences. He discusses goals together and checks in about what feels helpful as therapy continues.

If you are considering online work, confirm the session formats offered before booking because the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed and remove travel time. They can also suit quieter conversations without a long commute, and help people continue work when life circumstances change.
