About Pierre

Pierre Corcoran is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years' practice experience. He works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, addiction, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and codependency. Sessions are held in English and international clients are accepted.

Pierre uses a mix of approaches so the conversation can match what a person needs. He draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape expectations. He also uses client-centred methods to keep the focus on the person's own priorities and pace.

He applies cognitive behavioural techniques to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. Emotionally-focused ideas are used when relationship patterns and strong emotions are central. Jungian perspectives may be brought in when exploring personal meaning and deeper life themes.

In a session he aims to help people name what keeps repeating in their relationships and daily life. That can include people-pleasing, trouble saying no, living with someone else's moods, or difficulty with intimacy. Pierre invites practical steps alongside talking so people can try different ways of responding between sessions.

Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients are asked to press the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.

How sessions work

How Pierre uses therapeutic approaches in online work

Pierre draws on attachment-based therapy to look at how early relationships influence current patterns. This approach focuses on connection styles, how people respond to closeness, and what keeps repeating in relationships. It can help when someone struggles with trust, abandonment fears or codependent patterns.

He also uses client-centred methods which prioritise the person's own experience and pace. That involves listening, reflecting back what the person says, and letting the client's priorities guide sessions. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is used alongside these approaches to identify unhelpful thoughts and test different behaviours in everyday life.

Finding the right mix is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which approaches feel most useful given their concerns, goals and preferences. This usually means trying different tools and noting what helps.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family or other commitments. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, and sessions that do not require travel, which helps people build therapeutic work into a busy week.
