About Corina
Corina Valdano works with stress, anxiety, difficult relationships, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and coping with life changes using practical therapeutic methods and talking through problems in clear terms. She is registered with the HCPC and has 27 years' experience in mental health work.
Corina draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Attachment-Based Therapy and client‑centred counselling. Sessions focus on identifying helpful patterns, building coping skills and trying out small changes between meetings. Conversations are direct and aimed at making everyday life more manageable.
She has worked across a wide range of concerns beyond the main areas, including issues linked to adoption and foster care, attachment difficulties, ageing and geriatric issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, chronic illness and pain, body image, and caregiving stress. Corina also engages with topics such as codependency, abandonment, blended family challenges and aspects of adult sexual culture such as BDSM and kink when these are relevant to a person’s wellbeing.
Fees vary by location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. Before a first session clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange an appointment.
Her work is practical and collaborative. She helps people learn skills from evidence‑based approaches, reflect on relationship patterns, and make steady changes that fit their life situation.
How Corina uses therapy approaches in remote sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting pushed around by them, and it supports actions that fit a person’s values. It is often used for anxiety, stress and problems that come with life changes.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical steps to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and body image concerns.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving coping strategies in moments of crisis or stress. It can be helpful when emotions feel overwhelming or when relationships are difficult.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what has or has not helped in the past, and they will decide together which methods to try first.
The biography does not list which session formats are provided, so clients should confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check‑in appointments, or offering alternatives when equipment or bandwidth is limited. Registered or accredited professionals can use remote sessions to continue regular contact and practice therapeutic skills between meetings.
Sessions take place through BetterHelp by video, phone or messaging. We will earn a commission if you sign up.
