About Corina
Corina Valdano is a HCPC-registered practitioner in the United Kingdom with 27 years of experience. She works with adults experiencing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and challenges from life changes. She also lists codependency among her focus areas and can offer support in that area. Corina speaks English and Spanish and accepts international clients.
She uses practical, evidence-informed approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and client-centred methods. In sessions she helps people notice patterns, try small behavioural changes, and practise ways to manage intense feelings. The work often includes clear skills and moment-to-moment reflection rather than abstract theory.
Corina aims to help people who repeatedly put others first or who feel overwhelmed by someone else’s moods or crises. She can talk through boundary-setting, coping strategies, and ways to rebuild a sense of self after difficult relationships. For people worried about grief, body image, or long-term illness, she offers focused support that addresses both feelings and daily challenges.
Her background includes a master’s degree in Third Generation Therapies. Corina draws on a range of therapeutic ideas to shape sessions around what someone actually needs to try next. She encourages practical steps alongside discussion so people leave with workable tools.

How sessions work
How Corina uses different therapy models online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and situations where someone keeps prioritising others at their own expense. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) works on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviours to change how someone feels. It is practical and often used for anxiety, stress, and low self-esteem. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape expectations and patterns now, and helps people understand and change repeated relationship dynamics.Choosing the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. That might mean combining elements from several approaches and revising the plan as progress is made.
The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins that are shorter when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt pacing, homework and practical skills for remote sessions so the work stays focused on next steps and real-life change.
