About Corina
Corina Valdano offers a practical, person-focused way of working that helps people manage stress, anxiety and relationship strain. She uses approaches that put values and present-moment choices at the centre, while helping clients build skills to handle intense emotions and difficult thoughts. Corina works in English and Spanish and is registered with the HCPC.
With 27 years of experience, Corina draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and client-centred and attachment-based approaches. Sessions are aimed at making changes people can use day to day, such as shifting unhelpful thinking, practising new coping skills and clarifying what matters most.
She supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, grief and loss, low self-esteem and body image concerns. She also works with clients who face long-term health conditions, caregiving strain, adoption and foster care issues, and complex attachment or neurodiversity-related needs.
Corina describes therapy as a collaborative process. She helps clients spot patterns that get in the way, try alternatives in small steps and check what does and does not work. The work mixes talking, practical exercises and skills practice to build resilience and clearer choices.

How Corina’s approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps towards those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It suits issues like anxiety, stress and low self-esteem by focusing on meaningful action rather than getting stuck in avoidance.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, mood changes and coping with life transitions.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) provides skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance and handling relationship tensions. It is often used when strong emotional reactions make everyday life harder.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, try methods that fit those aims, and adjust the plan together. This collaborative way helps people test what works for them and keep what helps in daily life.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm exact online options before booking. Many people find online therapy helps fit sessions into busy schedules, reduces travel time and makes it easier to maintain regular appointments. Others use online work to practice skills between sessions or to have shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor sessions to what clients can manage and aim for steady, practical progress.
