About Corina

Corina Valdano provides counselling that blends practical tools with a warm, listening approach. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self‑esteem, or big life changes. Corina works with adults to talk through problems and find manageable steps forward.

With 27 years of experience, Corina draws on a range of well‑established methods. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try small behaviour changes. She also uses Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) skills for intense emotions and Attachment‑Based Therapy to look at relationship patterns.

Sessions are practical and steady. Corina helps people identify strengths and set realistic goals. Conversations aim to make things clearer and reduce day‑to‑day distress through simple strategies and repeated practice.

Corina holds HCPC, which indicates professional registration with the Health and Care Professions Council. She offers sessions in English and Spanish and works with people in the United Kingdom as well as international clients.

How Corina's therapeutic approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take values‑based steps forward. It is useful for stress, anxiety and when life feels stalled.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts, feelings and actions link together and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with anxiety, low mood and problem solving.

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) skills teach ways to manage intense emotions and improve coping when feelings feel overwhelming. These skills can be helpful alongside other approaches for people who need strategies for strong emotional moments.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, goals and preferences, and together they will try methods that fit best. Sessions can adjust over time as goals change.

Please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online work can help fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time, making it easier to schedule a shorter check‑in during a break, or avoiding the need to be on camera for every session. Registered or accredited professionals can discuss practical arrangements and how to shape sessions so therapy slots sit alongside everyday commitments.
