About Corina
Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy alongside client-centred and attachment-based ideas. Sessions focus on identifying what matters to the person, building skills to manage intense emotions, and making small, steady changes that fit into everyday life.
Corina often helps people who are coping with major life changes, grief, chronic illness or disability, and issues linked to adoption, caregiving or attachment. She also supports those dealing with body image, codependency and a range of personality and neurodiversity-related concerns.
In conversation she aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk honestly about what is hard. Practical tools and short exercises are offered when useful, alongside time to reflect on feelings and relationships.
To begin, Corina asks people to describe their current struggles and goals so sessions can be tailored. The work is collaborative and paced to what the person can manage, with attention to strengths and small achievable steps.

Step 3
How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Corina uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy as key tools. ACT helps people clarify what matters to them and take action despite difficult thoughts or feelings, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with change. CBT focuses on noticing unhelpful thinking patterns and trying different behaviours to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Corina treats therapy as a collaborative process and will help identify which methods suit a person's goals and preferences. She adapts the mix of techniques over time based on what is helping and what the person can manage.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the exact session formats before booking as the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit regular appointments around work, study or caregiving commitments. It also allows brief check-ins when a shorter contact is helpful and can reduce travel time for people managing chronic illness or disability. Registered or accredited professionals can offer these flexible arrangements so therapy fits into everyday life.
