Corina Valdano, HCPC

Corina Valdano is a HCPC-registered counsellor with 27 years of experience. She offers calm, practical support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and body image concerns. Corina speaks English and Spanish and works with people in the United Kingdom and internationally.

Corina favours straightforward, evidence-based approaches that help people make small changes that matter. Her practice draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Attachment-Based Therapy and client-centred work to build useful skills and clearer perspectives. Sessions focus on what a person wants to change and how to get there.

She often helps people who feel stuck by working on emotion regulation, unhelpful thinking patterns and relationship dynamics. Practical tools and short exercises may be suggested between sessions to test new ways of coping. Therapy also addresses life transitions, grief, caregiving strain and long-term health challenges when these affect mood and daily functioning.

Corina aims to create an atmosphere of respect and steady support where people can practise new responses. She pays attention to individual strengths and priorities, and adapts techniques to suit each person’s pace and goals. Her approach is collaborative rather than prescriptive.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting ruled by them, then move towards values-based action. It is often used for anxiety, depression and relationship avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and replacing them with more workable options; it is useful for anxiety, low mood and body image concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotional responses, and can help with trust, closeness and recurring relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Corina works together with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. That conversation can include trying different practices and checking what feels most helpful over time.

Please confirm available session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving or medical appointments, and it can reduce travel time. Some formats also allow shorter check-ins or phone-only conversations when that better fits a person's day. Registered and accredited professionals can adapt exercises, worksheets and homework for remote work so therapy remains practical and focused.
