About Corina
Corina Cullen is an NCPS counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of experience. She works with adults who are carrying stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, depression, and feelings of guilt and shame. Corina sees people who want to understand how past relationships affect their present life and emotional responses.
She combines a client-centred way of working with ideas from attachment-based therapy. That means conversations focus on what matters to the person and on how early attachments shape self-worth and closeness to others. Sessions aim to make patterns clearer and to try small changes that feel manageable.
Before private practice she worked in a sixth form college and at an agency supporting women affected by domestic violence, abuse, and addiction. That background informs her work with trauma, attachment wounds, anxiety, low self-esteem and parenting stress.
Corina describes her approach as integrative. She draws on relational ideas and some cognitive and mentalisation techniques when they fit the client's needs. Work in sessions tends to be practical, speaking plainly about feelings and relationships and testing new ways of responding.
She offers a short ten-minute consultation to check fit and what a person hopes to work on. The substance of therapy is decided together, with attention to patterns of connection, guilt and self-criticism, and small steps toward clearer ways of relating.
How her approaches translate to online work
Corina uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current feelings and patterns. In practice this means helping people notice familiar ways of relating, and gently testing different responses to reduce shame, guilt and anxious reactions.She also works in a client-centred way, which places the person's experience at the heart of the session. Sessions tend to focus on the client's concerns and pace, with the therapist reflecting what is important and offering questions that help a person think differently about themselves and their choices.
Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and adjust the style as sessions progress so the work fits the person's needs.
The biography lists online, telephone and walk-and-talk therapy, but please confirm the current formats before booking. Online or telephone sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid being on camera. Walk-and-talk can suit people who prefer moving while they talk. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists can offer these options, and Corina will discuss practical arrangements when arranging sessions.
