About Corina
Corina Valdano uses established therapeutic approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and low self-esteem. She works in English and Spanish and is registered with the HCPC, bringing 27 years of clinical experience to her practice. She offers a calm space where people can talk about what's worrying them.
Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals. Corina aims to help people feel steadier and more able to cope with life changes.
Background and approach
Corina draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. She also uses attachment-based and client-centred ideas to guide conversations about relationships and patterns that cause pain. In session she helps people name difficult feelings and try out new ways of responding.
Her work includes support for issues linked to abandonment, adoption and foster care, ageing concerns, chronic illness and caregiver stress. She also addresses body image, codependency and neurodiversity-related concerns such as autism and Asperger syndrome. Corina explains options, listens carefully and helps people set achievable steps.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To start, a short matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled according to the therapist's availability.

How Corina works online
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your situation, discuss options and try methods that fit your goals and preferences. Changes are paced to what works for you rather than following a fixed template.
Please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into a busy schedule, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people take part from different locations or arrange sessions around work and caregiving commitments. Registered or accredited professionals aim to adapt methods so they work well in remote sessions and support practical steps between meetings.
