Corina Valdano , HCPC

Corina Valdano offers compassionate, experienced support for people facing anxiety, stress, depression, difficult relationships, grief, trauma, self-esteem challenges, and body image concerns. With 27 years of clinical experience and a master's degree in Third Generation Therapies - a postgraduate qualification focused on contemporary, evidence-based approaches such as mindfulness and newer behavioral therapies - she combines practical skills with a thoughtful, client-focused stance. She draws on a broad range of methods including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness practices, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Behavioral Activation to tailor interventions to each person’s needs.

Registered with the HCPC - the Health and Care Professions Council in the United Kingdom - she provides a respectful environment where people can speak openly and work toward meaningful change. Her approach emphasizes identifying strengths, building coping skills, and setting achievable goals so clients can move through intense emotions, repair or manage relationships, and navigate life transitions. When clients decide to address their difficulties, she offers steady, professional support and practical strategies to help them progress toward greater wellbeing.

Therapeutic approaches and online care tailored to you

Corina Valdano commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based Therapy, and often integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques. ACT focuses on helping people clarify their values, accept difficult thoughts and feelings, and take committed action toward a meaningful life - a useful fit for anxiety, low mood, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores early and adult relational patterns to improve connection, trust, and emotional regulation, which can help with relationship difficulties, trauma, and abandonment concerns. CBT offers practical tools to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replace them with skills that reduce distress in day-to-day life.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and she works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods align with their goals, preferences, and circumstances. Sessions may blend elements from different approaches to match what is most helpful.

Online therapy with Corina is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, those living abroad, or people who prefer remote care. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of support and practice new skills between sessions while working with licensed professionals and therapists committed to practical, compassionate care.
