About Corina
Corina Valdano is a HCPC-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 27 years of clinical experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and life changes. Corina speaks English and Spanish and accepts international clients.
She uses a mix of practical, evidence-based approaches to help people manage intense emotions and repeated unhelpful patterns. In sessions she draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioural techniques and client-centred work to help people notice thoughts, clarifiy values and try small changes. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and attachment-based ideas inform her way of working with strong emotions and relationship wounds.
Corina focuses on concrete problems such as abandonment, attachment issues, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and bereavement. She also supports people navigating adoption and foster care questions, blended family stress, and complexities around kink and alternative sexual cultures. The emphasis is on practical steps rather than labels.
Sessions typically involve talking through recent incidents, learning short coping strategies, and practising new responses between meetings. She helps people identify patterns that feed guilt or shame and build alternatives that fit daily life. Language support in Spanish is available when needed.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first appointment. Corina describes the work as collaborative - she helps clients choose tools that match their goals and circumstances.
How her approaches translate to online work
Corina uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and to practise small, value-driven actions. ACT is often used for anxiety, avoidance and long-standing guilt where shifting responses to thoughts matters.She also works with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and to test new behaviours. CBT-style experiments and short skills work can be a clear way to break cycles of rumination or shame. Attachment-based ideas guide conversations about relationship wounds and how early patterns affect current reactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Corina will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms and preferences and then try methods that fit. That collaborative decision-making can change over time as different tools are tested in real life.
The practical benefit of meeting online is that therapy can fit around work and family commitments and conversations can continue when travel is difficult. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm which formats are available before booking. Registered or accredited professionals provide the sessions and Corina will help choose ways of working that suit everyday life and schedules.
