About Corina
Corina Valdano is a counsellor who uses practical, evidence-based approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship difficulties. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and attachment-informed work to support people through painful life events. Corina is registered with the HCPC and practises in the United Kingdom. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
Corina aims to make sessions straightforward and focused. She encourages people to notice what matters to them, build small, manageable skills, and try new ways of responding to old problems. Work often includes noticing thoughts and feelings without getting swept up in them, and experimenting with actions that match personal values.
Her approach pays attention to how past relationships shape present patterns. That helps when issues include attachment difficulties, abandonment, or challenges linked to adoption and foster care. Corina also supports people coping with chronic illness, caregiving stress, body image concerns and the emotional impact of cancer.
Over 27 years of practice, Corina has worked with a wide range of concerns and uses straightforward tools drawn from several therapies. Clients can expect a calm, non-judgemental space to try new strategies and reflect on progress. She treats the therapy relationship as a collaborative process focused on realistic steps forward.

How her approaches work in online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that reflect those values. It includes learning to notice painful thoughts and feelings without letting them control decisions, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and life transitions.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current responses to closeness and loss. This approach helps when abandonment, attachment issues or adoption and foster care experiences affect trust and intimacy in adult life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and then suggest which methods to use. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as therapy progresses.
If you prefer online sessions, please confirm the exact session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, cut travel time and allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed. It can also suit people who find written or on-screen methods helpful for practising new skills between meetings. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt techniques from ACT, CBT and attachment work to suit remote appointments.
