About Corina
Corina Valdano is a counsellor who draws on existential ideas to help people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship strain, low self-esteem and difficult life changes. She uses practical conversation and reflective work to help people find clearer priorities and more grounded ways of living. Corina works in English and Spanish and is registered with the HCPC.
With 27 years of experience, Corina mixes several approaches to suit each person’s needs.
Background and approach
She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice their values and take small steps that matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try different ways of responding. Attachment-Based work helps when past relationships affect how someone connects now.
Client-Centred principles mean sessions are paced to each person's comfort and concerns. Corina also supports people dealing with body image, adoption and foster care issues, cancer, chronic illness, caregiver stress and a range of personality and attachment difficulties. Sessions tend to focus on clear, manageable goals rather than medical labels.
People can expect practical tools, reflective conversation and homework options when helpful. The aim is to reduce overwhelming feelings and increase day-to-day coping. Corina welcomes people from different countries and backgrounds.
She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, and works with each person to choose the format that fits their life.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Existential Therapy helps people look at life choices, meaning and what matters to them. Online sessions use conversation and reflection to help people identify values and make changes in everyday life.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches simple skills to notice thoughts and commit to value-based actions. In remote sessions this can include short exercises and practical tasks to try between meetings.
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns affect current connections. Work by video or phone can explore those patterns and rehearse new ways of relating. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss what seems most useful and try methods collaboratively, adjusting as goals and preferences become clearer.
Online formats offer flexibility for different needs. Video calls are close to face-to-face and suit longer sessions. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and fit a busy schedule. Live chat or text-based messaging can be useful for brief check-ins or when written reflection helps. These options make it easier to keep therapy going around work, caregiving or travel commitments.
