Corina Valdano , HCPC

Corina Valdano is an experienced HCPC-registered therapist based in the United Kingdom who offers practical, evidence-informed support for people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and challenges with life transitions. With 27 years of professional practice, she creates a respectful, nonjudgmental space where people can explore painful emotions, painful memories, and repeating relationship patterns while working toward clearer, more manageable ways of living.

She holds a master's degree in Third Generation Therapies and integrates a range of evidence-based methods to tailor care to each person’s needs. Her training draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness techniques, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Behavioral Activation, alongside core counseling skills. This blended approach helps address immediate symptoms while also building long-term resilience and coping strategies.

Corina focuses on identifying strengths, clarifying goals, and supporting practical steps toward change. She works with issues including abandonment, attachment difficulties, adoption and foster care concerns, caregiving stress, chronic illness, body image, and blended-family challenges. When someone is ready to take the step toward support, Corina offers compassionate guidance to begin that process and to work collaboratively toward meaningful change.
