About Pierre
Pierre Corcoran uses a blend of therapeutic approaches to help people find clearer ways to cope with distress. He combines attachment-focused thinking, client-centred listening, and cognitive tools to tackle issues like anxiety, depression and trauma. He practises in the United Kingdom and works online with English-speaking clients, including international appointments.
Pierre keeps sessions straightforward. He listens first, then helps people spot patterns in their feelings and relationships. He uses simple CBT techniques to challenge unhelpful thoughts and attachment ideas to look at how early relationships shape current reactions.
How Pierre works
This mix aims to make emotion and behaviour easier to understand and change. People come with worries about stress, anger, grief or self‑esteem, and also more complex concerns such as addictions, bipolar difficulties, or dealing with chronic illness. He also supports those coping with parenting stresses, career choices, intimacy and communication problems.
Pierre can talk through issues tied to adoption, abandonment or neurodiversity such as autism and Asperger syndrome. Sessions are collaborative. He uses client-centred listening so each person sets the pace and priorities.
When helpful, emotionally-focused work is used to look at painful relationship patterns and Jungian ideas are invited to explore meaning and inner life. Pierre is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He has four years of practice experience.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions that suit their schedule.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape emotional responses and current relationship patterns. It helps people who feel stuck in repeating cycles of hurt, mistrust or intense reactions by tracing how those patterns began and testing new ways of relating.Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding without judgement. The aim is to let people set the pace, name their priorities and feel heard so they can discover their own changes and solutions.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, offers straightforward tools to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behaviours. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and stress and gives practical steps for managing day-to-day difficulties.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Pierre treats finding a good fit as a collaborative process and will adapt methods to match a person’s goals, needs and preferences. He checks in about what helps and adjusts the plan as therapy progresses.
Online therapy gives practical flexibility. Video calls suit deeper conversation and visual connection, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and live chat or text-based messaging can fit into busy schedules or provide a different way to reflect between sessions. Many people find these options make it easier to keep therapy going around work or family commitments.
