Cora Hilton

Hello, I'm Cora. I specialise in helping Millennials, Gen. Z, and members of the queer community navigate modern life.

Since opening my private practice in 2018, I've worked with all sorts of folk exploring all sorts of challenges. Whether you're looking to get a handle on your anxiety, to quiet an ever-present (and rubbish) soundtrack of self-criticism, to find more connection and satisfaction in your relationships, or to figure out who you are and what you want from your life, I’m here to grapple the tough stuff with you.

How I work

I offer modern, down-to-earth therapy that gets how difficult life today can be – finding happiness, stability and hope within the current global context is a big ask. In therapy, we’ll work together to help you cultivate the change you want, so that you can start to build some solid ground amid the uncertainty. At your pace, we’ll look to make sense of the challenges you’re facing, and to find new ways forward that bring you more choice, authenticity, and fulfilment. Together, we’ll figure out how to make your life feel like yours.

I’m an Integrative therapist, which means I don’t stick to only one therapy approach – I take ideas from lots of different places, beyond just the world of therapy theory. My work is heavily influenced by a background in philosophy, languages and literature, but also – as a true Millennial – by pop culture and the everyday world around us. Since insight can come from many places, there is always space in my therapy room to explore something you read, watched, played or listened to that spoke to you - even truly terrible reality TV can provide a window into ourselves, in the most surprising ways. 

My specialisms

I’m experienced at working with a wide range of contemporary challenges, including:

anxiety and depression / burnout and perfectionism / relationships, communication and boundaries / family challenges / self-esteem and self-criticism / identity, life direction and meaning / bereavement, failure and loss / LGBTQ+ issues and gender, sex and relationship diversity (GSRD) / parenting and queer parenting experiences / career and workplace difficulties / loneliness, feeling lost, and feeling stuck.

I also work with lots of people who struggle to express what exactly brings them to therapy, but know that something needs to change - sometimes, nothing in particular is 'wrong', but we know things could feel more 'right'. ​It’s OK to come to therapy without a checklist of issues you want to explore – we can start from wherever you find yourself now.

A little extra

I’m an Accredited member of the BACP. Prior to starting my private practice, I saw clients at agencies specialising in therapy for bereavement, and for stress, depression and anxiety. 

Within my client base of Millennials, Gen. Z, and members of the LGBTQ+ community, I have particular experience of working with people in creative, tech and legal careers, and with neuro-, gender and relationship diversity.

I write a Substack and a blog, ‘The PsychGeist’, which is about the intersection between pop culture and therapy, and what we can learn from where the two meet. 

I'm sometimes joined in sessions by my calico cat Rizzo, who fortunately adheres to the same confidentiality standards that I do.

Fee information

My fees are on a sliding scale between £65 and £85 per 50-minute session. Within this scale, you choose your own rate.

I offer a reduced fee of £60 for an initial appointment.

I also offer low-cost appointments.

If you'd like to get in touch with me, the best way to do so is via email. I will aim to respond to you by the end of the next working day. I respond to every email I receive, so please check your spam folder if you're waiting to hear from me.

When getting in touch, there is nothing particular that you need to tell me about you - you can say whatever you feel comfortable saying. It would be helpful if you could let me know what your availability for sessions with me would be, so that I can see whether I am able to offer you an initial session at a suitable time and date.

An initial session is a chance for us to speak a little about what's going on for you at the moment; to explore any questions you have about therapy; and to get a gauge on whether we might be a good fit with what you're looking for. I offer a reduced fee of £60 for this appointment.

My practice is exclusively online, so all my sessions take place on Zoom.
