About Corina
Corina Valdano uses a mix of practical therapy approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety and relationship difficulties. She draws on 27 years of experience and works in English and Spanish. Corina is registered with the HCPC which is listed as her professional credential.
She helps people who are coping with trauma, low self-esteem and major life changes. Conversations focus on small, realistic steps that can make daily life easier.
Background and approach
Corina also supports those dealing with body image concerns and the lasting effects of abuse. Her wider interests include issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, and the effects of chronic illness or caregiving stress. She also works with people facing identity and sexual culture questions including BDSM and kink, and with neurodiverse clients including autism and Asperger syndrome.
Corina chooses tools from approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. Sessions are aimed at helping people notice patterns, try different responses, and build coping skills that stick. The tone is practical and down-to-earth rather than clinical.
People meet with Corina to talk through painful memories, handle complicated relationships, or simply find ways to feel steadier day to day. She encourages collaboration on goals and tailors the work to each person's situation and pace.

Online support
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences and what feels useful in early sessions. Together they adjust methods as the work progresses to find what best helps the individual make changes.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people work face to face without travel, phone sessions can be a good option when internet bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging suit quick check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and other commitments while keeping the focus on progress and practical skills.
