Corina has been warm, kind, caring and listens carefully. She has an insight to deep issues that is very helpful and neutral. She is easy to talk to and I highly recommend her.

Corina is a fantastic therapist and voice. She was able to help me open up and realise what my own key values were which allowed me to change my day-to-day mindset and outlook onto how I act and treat others. I really appreciated her time and would strongly recommend her to anyone.

Written on Sep 29, 2025 after therapy with Corina for 5 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, relationship issues, intimacy-related issues, anger management, and coping with life changes

Corina has a strong ability to address both immediate and long-term needs. In moments of emotional difficulty, she provides practical and effective coping strategies. At the same time, she equips me with a deeper understanding of psychological processes, which allows me to approach my situation with greater clarity and a sense of agency. I'm truly grateful for this therapy, that allows me to break through and improve my situation.

I feel incredibly grateful for my sessions with Corina. She’s thoughtful, considerate, and she always asks me insightful questions that allow me to reflect deeply. I feel very safe expressing my thoughts, feelings, and concerns with her. Her support has been invaluable in helping me understand myself better. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a compassionate and skilled therapist.

I've really enjoyed my time with Corina. She seems to really take the time to understand my needs and meet me where I am. She challenges me to think about things in new ways and creates an environment which feels safe and nonjudgemental. She also encourages me to journal or think about questions outside of our sessions and share them with her and I see she really engages with my answers and isn't just giving them a perfunctory glance. Through this, I don't just think of therapy as an appointment I must attend once a week, but it becomes an exercise of incorporating it into my everyday life. I would highly recommend Corina if you are seeking a therapist.
