Corina Valdano offers practical, person-centred therapy that helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and self-esteem concerns. She introduces clear tools and everyday language so clients can make steady changes. Corina works in English and Spanish and has 27 years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom.

She is registered with the HCPC (Health and Care Professions Council). Corina uses a blend of approaches to match each person's needs.

Background and approach

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps with unhelpful thoughts and patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports people to live according to their values while accepting difficult feelings. She also draws on attachment-based ideas to understand how early relationships affect current struggles.

Sessions focus on what matters to the person in front of her. Corina helps people identify small, achievable steps and practical coping skills. She offers strategies for emotion regulation, managing panic or worry, and rebuilding confidence after trauma or loss.

Her work also covers a wide range of related concerns such as abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, chronic illness, caregiver stress, body image, and codependency. These areas are approached with respect for each person's history and choices. Corina combines evidence-informed therapies with a calm, direct style.

She supports people who want clear techniques as well as space to talk. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to therapist availability.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that match their values. It suits people struggling with anxiety, chronic worry, or feeling lost after life changes.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them with practical exercises. It is useful for panic, persistent worrying, low mood, and problems with self-esteem.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship experiences shape current ways of relating and reacting. It can help when relational patterns, trust, or attachment wounds are getting in the way of closer connections.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Corina will discuss goals and preferences and adapt methods to suit each person. The process is collaborative so therapy reflects what the person needs and wants to achieve.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls are close to face-to-face and suit deeper conversations. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging let people check in more often, use shorter skills-based exchanges, or manage therapy around busy schedules. These options make it easier to fit therapy into day-to-day life.
